The migrant detention center of the Trump administration in Everglades has become the subject of two cases, threatening to derail the convenience as the government appoints a novel strategy to crack the immigration enforcement.
The new feature, the surname Eligator Alkatraz, is facing allegations that it is unable to communicate properly with hundreds of prisoners, recently not access to an immigration court and living in inhuman conditions.
A second lawsuit alleged that the Makshift Detection Center made of tents and trailers is also being built illegally within a sensitive habitat for endangered species.

The American Civil Liberty Union, who made the first complaint on behalf of many detained migrants, saw a small blow on Monday night when Judge Rodolfo Ruiz said its claims should have been brought to the central district of Florida instead of Southern district.
Ruiz, who appointed Trump, said that the case should be transferred to the district, finding that the alleged violation took place in this facility, which is located in the Coliere County, about 50 miles from Miami.
ACLU, along with other groups, argued in its trial that some prisoners were not given the ability to communicate secretly with a lawyer and recently, the Trump administration did not nominate any immigration court as a jurisdiction on the migrants detained, about 700.

The plaintiff’s lawyers wrote, “This is an unprecedented situation where hundreds of prisoners are organized, there is no ability to reach the courts, under legal rights, which has never been explained and may be present.”
Although not part of his legal claims, the lawyers stated that their customers were being organized in “rigid and inhuman conditions”, including a meal per day, reaching daily rainfall, excessive force by guards and lack of medical care. The lawyers said, “They are placed around the clock in a cage inside a tent.”

DHS spokesperson Trisia McLaglin said, “Here are the facts: Elegator Alkatraz meets federal detention standards.” “All captive facilities are clear. Any allegations of inhuman conditions are false. When will the media stop the Haux about illegal foreign detention centers and start focusing on American victims of illegal foreign crime?”
A Republican, the village Ron Desantis, has stated that the feature is designed to be temporary and is a means of reducing the burden at other detention centers. Desantis said that they hope that Elegator Alkatraz, which was constructed at an airport, would be “force multiplier” for Trump’s aggressive exile agenda.

In a separate case, Judge Kathleen Williams, who appointed Obama, is considering whether crocodile Alkatraz should be stopped to violate the National Environment Policy Act.
Williams held a 14-day hold on all construction of the facility, but the order has been set to end on August 21. The judge vowed to issue another order until the date, stating that the government was not as great as the temporary loss due to stopping construction as the lack of compliance with environmental laws and regulations was found.
