Judge orders temporary halt to new construction at Alligator Alcatraz - The Washington Post

Florida State Rep. Anna Eskamani (D), who testified at the hearing in support of the conservation groups, called the order "a necessary and welcome step in stopping a project that never should have been approved in the first place."

"This facility is not only a threat to one of the most environmentally sensitive regions in the country. It is also a glaring example of how far the State of Florida will go to criminalize immigrants and ignore the long-term health of our natural resources," Eskamani said in a statement.
