From the Miami Herald,
Judge orders Alligator Alcatraz shut down in 60 days, says no more new detainees.
It’s an Obama-appointed federal district judge, of course, and this is the case involving the alleged “environmental damage” being done to one of the world’s biggest swamps. From the Herald,
Though her order does not prohibit the state from making repairs to the site, the most striking aspect of the order is her demand that the state begin removing all generators, gas, sewage, and other waste items that have transformed the airstrip into a detention center within 60 days, rendering the site uninhabitable.
The state of Florida, of course, is appealing the decision.
