The Miccosukee Tribe of Florida Wants to Join a Federal Lawsuit Against ‘Alligator Alcatraz’
BIG CYPRESS NATIONAL PRESERVE, FLORIDA, JUL 15 – The Miccosukee Tribe joins environmental groups in suing over Alligator Alcatraz, a 3,000-bed immigration detention center built without required environmental reviews on tribal lands.
- On July 3, the Trump administration and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis opened `Alligator Alcatraz`, inside Big Cypress National Preserve about 45 miles west of Miami.
- Without court hearings, the detainees were snatched from streets, left families uninformed, and had no criminal records despite doing day jobs.
- Support on-site operations include around-the-clock supply trucks delivering construction materials, tents for 5,000 detainees, and at least 400 security personnel.
- The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida seeks to join a federal lawsuit demanding a stringent environmental review, with a motion filed Monday marking its first direct intervention.
- Future implications include Kristi Noem, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary, stating she is in talks with five GOP-led states to launch similar centers, while the tribe’s motion could set a nationwide precedent for environmental litigation.
