Two influential environmental groups suing state officials over construction of Alligator Alcatraz are sounding the alarm over what they say is a “catastrophe” unfolding at the remote site of the state-manage controversial immigration detention facility.

The Trump administration announced on Friday that it would allocate over $600M in grants to states willing to build migrant detention centers modeled after 'Alligator Alcatraz.'

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will hold a news conference Friday morning at the immigration center, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” in the Florida Everglades.

CNN heard from eight detainees at Trump’s “Aligator Alcatraz” in the Florida Everglades on Friday’s edition of Erin Burnett OutFront, with one describing the immigration detention center to CNN’s Priscilla Alvarez as “a type of torture.

The Mayor of Miami-Dade County is once again demanding access to Alligator Alcatraz, the immigrant detention center in the Everglades that was rapidly built on property seized from the county.

It also says the project violates the National Environmental Policy Act, as it kicked off without any environmental review and didn't account for other federal statutes, like the Endangered Species Act, or state land-use laws. The suit notes that the public also didn't receive an opportunity to make their voices heard on the matter.
