Florida is closing the Alligator Alcatraz immigration detention center in the Everglades after operating it for less than a year, with roughly 1,400 detainees expected to be relocated by early June. DeSantis confirmed the closure is being discussed with the Trump administration, marking a reversal for a facility the state had heavily promoted as a solution to migrant processing. The facility faced sustained criticism from immigration advocates over conditions and its location in a wildlife preserve.
