Florida’s top emergency official says a judge should resist a request by environmentalists to halt an immigration detention center known as Alligator Alcatraz in the middle of the Florida Everglades because it was filed in the wrong jurisdiction.

The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida is seeking to join a federal lawsuit aimed at halting the construction and operation of a new immigration detention facility in the Everglades, which tribal members consider their sacred ancestral homelands.

The Florida Supreme Court sent another lawsuit from Democratic state lawmakers to the circuit court in Leon County. The lawmakers sued after they were denied entry to the facility on July 3. No hearings have been held or scheduled yet.
