ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A federal judge has put a stop to further expansion of the immigration detention center built in the Florida Everglades and dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz ,” ordering that its operations wind down within two months.

This is a judge that was not going to give us a fair shake,” DeSantis said Friday. “This was preordained, very much an activist judge that is trying to do policy from the bench.”
