DeSantis’ Everglades 'Alcatraz' Gets Judge-Snapped Shut
In a banging 82-page mic drop, Judge Kathleen Williams told Florida and Trump to zip it on their Everglades immigration detention site—dubbed 'Alligator Alcatraz.' The ruling demands dismantling fences, lights, and gadgets in 60 days because, surprise, they forgot to do a simple thing called an environmental study. Environmental groups and the Miccosukee Tribe sued, pointing out the place was wrecking panther habitats and sacred trails. DeSantis predicted this curse and vowed to fight on, saying, 'We will ultimately be successful,' proving Florida never met a losing cause it didn’t immediately rally behind.
