Florida Governor Ron DeSantis acknowledged that detainees are being rapidly moved out of the controversial Everglades detention center known as "Alligator Alcatraz," but attributed the development to federal deportations rather than the court order mandating its closure.
Speaking after emails surfaced showing that Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie expected the facility to be "down to 0 individuals within a few days," DeSantis said the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was responsible for the shift and all but confirmed the facility's imminent closure.
