Florida's #AlligatorAlcatraz #immigration #ConcentrationCamp has closed

“Alligator Alcatraz,” the remote #Florida immigration detention center that faced harsh criticism for its conditions, has shut down nearly a year after opening, Gov DeSantis said Thursday.
DeSantis said the center at an isolated airstrip in the #Everglades was always meant to be only temporary until more permanent detention centers could be secured & federal ofcls now have that capacity.
