Detainees held at Florida’s controversial immigration detention facility known as “Alligator Alcatraz” are suing the Trump administration, alleging inhumane conditions and unlawful confinement.

The lawsuit claims lawyers are not being allowed inside the detention center, violating the detainees' rights to due process.

A group of legislators recently visited the controversial new Florida immigration detention center that has been labeled “Alligator Alcatraz” and criticized for its inhumane conditions.

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

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Wednesday he wants the detention facility, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” to be at full capacity before moving forward with the plans to turn Camp Blanding into an immigration detention site.

Dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” the massive tent detention complex built deep in the Florida Everglades can hold 3,000 and could be the template for other facilities in other states.
