US Edition'Alligator Alcatraz' gets pushback; Supreme Court update
- On Friday, environmental groups filed suit to block 'Alligator Alcatraz' and the Supreme Court limited nationwide injunctions, leaving Trump’s citizenship order unresolved.
- The lawsuit alleges the builders bypassed environmental reviews, violating NEPA and ESA, and predict harm to wetlands, wildlife, and water quality in the Everglades.
- The project includes housing, sanitation, lighting, generators, and runway use, with federal funding for a 1,000-bed facility, posing environmental risks, according to attorneys and Florida officials.

- Courts may pause operations at the Florida detention center until environmental reviews are completed, with the Supreme Court's ruling leaving the fate of Trump's citizenship order unresolved.
