Overview

  • A federal injunction issued by Judge Rodolfo Ruiz requires Florida and federal authorities to submit all written custody and control agreements for the Everglades detention center by Thursday.
  • The Department of Homeland Security has officially denied reports of a two-week hunger strike at Alligator Alcatraz, calling the allegations false and reaffirming its commitment to detainee safety and three meals a day.
  • Governor Ron DeSantis estimates that ICE flights operating since late July have deported over 600 migrants directly from the remote facility.
  • Two lawsuits challenge the center’s operation: an ACLU-led civil rights case over legal access and a Friends of the Everglades and Center for Biological Diversity suit over environmental approvals.
  • Florida’s Division of Emergency Management has awarded contracts toward a second detention site at Camp Blanding, leveraging FEMA emergency funds for rapid construction.
