On Monday, a federal judge in Miami will hear arguments in a case over the controversial immigration detention center in the middle of the Florida Everglades known as “Alligator Alcatraz.”
Attorneys representing the detainees first filed suit in mid-July, after the detention facility was built on a remote air strip in the middle of the Everglades in a matter of days. They claimed there was an effective ban on attorney-client meetings after requests for meetings were going unanswered and lawyers were being turned away at the gates.
Since then, “Alligator Alcatraz” officials have allowed attorneys to visit their clients at the detention center in pre-scheduled meetings in person and via video call.
