- A federal judge on Thursday barred President Donald Trump's administration and the state of Florida from bringing new detainees into a remote migrant detention center in the Florida Everglades dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz."

U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams also ordered the dismantling of some aspects of the facility as current detainees are moved out, according to a court filing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

The judge sided with environmental groups who had said the facility is endangering the Everglades and its wildlife.
