We must put a stop to the massive immigration detention center, cruelly named "Alligator Alcatraz," in the heart of the Everglades. “This reckless attack on the Everglades — the lifeblood of Florida — risks polluting sensitive waters and turning more endangered Florida panthers into roadkill. It makes no sense to build what’s essentially a new development in the Everglades for any reason, but this reason is particularly despicable,” said Elise Bennett, Florida and Caribbean director and attorney at the Center. The facility would bring up to 3,000 detainees amidst the Big Cypress National Preserve within the Greater Everglades ecosystem. It's both a human-rights and environmental disaster in the making. Please join us now in fighting against this harmful development!
