A federal judge on Thursday barred the DeSantis and Trump administrations from bringing new detainees to the detention facility called Alligator Alcatraz and ordered the state begin closing operations at the immigration detention site within 60 days.

As the Miami Herald reports, the temporary injunction comes in response to a lawsuit filed by environmental groups and the Miccosukee Tribe in which they argue that the state and federal governments cut corners when erecting the site in a matter of days.
