The Miccosukee Tribe of Florida cites "significant concerns about environmental degradation" and threats to "traditional and religious ceremonies."

How many inmates at Florida's Alligator Alcatraz? How many people in a cell? Where do they eat? Who works there? Is there air conditioning? Showers?

Tensions. Unease. Tears. Migrants, lawyers and court watchers have seen all that and more since ICE began making arrests in court hallways in May.

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

Concerns about conditions for detainees were heightened when one was rushed out of the detention center Monday in an ambulance.

Florida continues to carry out mass deportations, prompting legal experts to question the legality of the state’s controversial ‘blueprint’.

Numerous accounts of lack of showers, overflowing toilets, and inability to meet with lawyers are emerging from the detention center in the middle of the Everglades.
