A federal judge may pause operations at Alligator Alcatraz as protests grow and nonprofits sue over conditions and impact.

Cuban reggaeton artist Leamsy La Figura, arrested last week in Miami-Dade, is now being held at the Alligator Alcatraz immigration detention facility in the Everglades.

When Donald Trump visited Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz', he dropped a big hint that many such detention centers might come up in other US states. Trump said facility "could be" a model for future such facilities and his administration is working to bring such facilities in other Republican states.
