'Everglades catastrophe unfolding before our eyes' say environmental groups about Alligator Alcatraz
Two influential environmental groups suing state officials over construction of Alligator Alcatraz are sounding the alarm over what they say is a “catastrophe” unfolding at the remote site of the state-manage controversial immigration detention facility.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis claims new migrant detention center has “zero” environmental impact. That’s not possible, experts say.
