They might win in court, then I wish them the best with trying to enforce the actual closure of this gross human and civil rights violation while Trump and DeSantis are still in office
The Tribe remains "strongly opposed to Alligator Alcatraz’s unpermitted and unlawful construction, on public lands seized by State emergency order," Tribal officials said in a statement on Tuesday.
The Tribe said Florida accepted $608 million in federal funds — nearly $200 million more than original estimates—to build and manage the facility, which was designed to detain suspected undocumented immigrants arrested by federal immigration agents.
The Miccosukee Tribal leaders in the fight against the atrocities conducted in the name of US citizens by this US administration can not be thanked enough.
It's an important source of opposition, but for the Tribe itself, it's less about atrocity and more about environmental impacts. Both matter, but this isn't a fight for human or civil rights. And the administration already created a second/back-up facility for the same purpose in north FL.

From the story,
The Miccosukee Tribal leaders in the fight against the atrocities conducted in the name of US citizens by this US administration can not be thanked enough.
It's an important source of opposition, but for the Tribe itself, it's less about atrocity and more about environmental impacts. Both matter, but this isn't a fight for human or civil rights. And the administration already created a second/back-up facility for the same purpose in north FL.
It’s a disgrace upon our state, and a disgrace upon the nation. It’s clearly designed to be both cruel and unusual punishment.
You paid for all this, Florida! MAGA!
