A federal judge on Thursday barred the DeSantis and Trump administrations from bringing new detainees to Alligator Alcatraz and demanded the state scale down operations at the immigration detention facility within 60 days.
U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams, in her 82-page ruling, prohibited the state and federal governments from sending more immigrants to the detention center, built on an airstrip on the edge of the Big Cypress National Preserve.
She also told the state to remove all generators, gas, sewage, lighting, fencing and other waste items over the next nine weeks that helped transform the airstrip into a detention center, eventually rendering the site uninhabitable.
They’ve made their judgement. Now to enforce it.
Yup, if this order doesn’t have some serious teeth behind it, it’s just going to be ignored.
My presumption given this administration is that they will continue to do exactly what they’re doing with zero regard for the law. They’ve acted with impunity for this long, why would some random judges decree suddenly stop them?
I think you’re right but I hope you’re wrong.
Judicial rulings have at least changed/delayed some things, but mostly they’ve just been speed bumps.
But it isn’t nothing.
If only there was an environmental reason to hold pedophiles responsible.
Kinda sad the reasoning is environmental instead of, you know, being immoral and inhumane. Either way, neither will register with the fascists.
Fun fact the first attempt at child welfare in the USA was via the ASPCA using livestock laws as though children were cattle. Sometimes the dumbest possible way is the hardest to fight against.
Add this to the list of judge orders that won’t be followed. And jeez wasn’t that fbi director just saying no one was above the law ?
Wish granted, now theres 5 more.
Strike those down? They eat more taxpayer money and build 10 more. Each court case takes months, good luck.
Plz let’s see some follow through on this
This should make me feel optimistic about the future of America but…a hostile takeover is currently underway
