The federal government has asked a Miami judge to pause her order to close an immigration detention center in Florida's Everglades, known as "Alligator Alcatraz." Attorneys for the Department of Homeland Security say the closure would disrupt immigration law enforcement. They requested a decision by Monday. The federal agency says the facility, which opened in July, is needed due to overcrowded detention centers in Florida. Environmental groups and the Miccosukee Tribe oppose the request, arguing the project threatens sensitive wetlands. Civil rights groups on Friday filed a third lawsuit over practices at the facility, saying Florida has no authority to operate it.
