Border czar Tom Homan said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation operations would continue after Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration detention facility was ordered to be shut down within 60 days.
The Trump administration was handed a legal setback on Thursday after a federal judge ordered the shutdown of the large-scale detention facility, saying it violated a federal law that requires an environmental review before any major federal construction project. Florida immediately appealed the decision, which requires the removal of all migrants housed at the facility, as well as generators, fencing, and other construction materials.
