US EditionJudge Temporarily Halts Construction of “Alligator Alcatraz” Detention Center - News Facts Network
FLORIDA EVERGLADES, AUG 7 – The order follows a lawsuit citing lack of environmental impact studies and risks to endangered species and tribal lands, halting new construction for 14 days, court records show.
- On Thursday, August 7, 2025, U.S. District Judge Kathleen M. Williams issued a 14-day temporary restraining order after two days of testimony, halting construction at Alligator Alcatraz.
- Friends of the Everglades, the Center for Biological Diversity, and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida argued the project lacked legally required environmental impact studies and threatened wetlands.
- Situated about 50 miles west of Miami on the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, the migrant detention center faces a court-ordered two-week halt amid environmental and safety concerns, tribal opposition, and ongoing operations.
- Following the ruling, the state of Florida and Trump administration can continue housing detainees and deportations will proceed during the 14-day period.
- Meanwhile, hearings will resume next week in Miami with federal witnesses and a longer-term injunction hearing scheduled later this month, as plans for Indiana’s Speedway Slammer proceed.
