Alligator Alcatraz may shut down as Everglades battle intensifies

The controversial detention center known as Alligator Alcatraz, built in the heart of the Everglades, could soon shut down.

Environmental groups suing over the facility say they received reports from vendors at the site that operations could begin winding down in June, with the facility potentially being dismantled weeks later.

“We were receiving reports in the last few days about detainees potentially being moved off the site,” said Eve Samples. “And then we got a secondhand report about an announcement to vendors at the site that the site would be shutting down at the beginning of June and then dismantled in the two to three weeks after.”
