Alligator Alcatraz' Construction May Resume, Divided Appeals Court Rules
A federal appeals court on Thursday allowed construction to resume at the federal migrant detention center known as "Alligator Alcatraz," blocking a lower court order that had ordered a halt to the project.The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a split opinion that President Donald Trump's administration is likely to prevail in a legal battle with environmental groups who say the facility is endangering the Everglades and its wildlife. Two judges sided with the Trump administration, and one judge dissented.
The majority ruled that the project - which has been funded by the state of Florida - did not trigger the kind of environmental review needed for federally funded construction projects.
"This lawsuit was never about the environmental impacts of turning a developed airport into a detention facility," DHS said. "It has and will always be about open-borders activists and judges trying to keep law enforcement from removing dangerous criminal aliens from our communities, full stop."
Two environmental groups of which our Lake Worth Beach Commissioner Mcvoy was affilited, filed a legal motion in June seeking to block further construction at the detention site, saying it violated federal, state, and local environmental laws.

I knew it would work out
Activist judges!!!!
Lower courts certainly have a lot of liberal judges. The "activist" judges are all Left-leaning.
I knew this would happen. We have a national security necessity being interfered with by environmental pretense in people that want to support criminal invaders at the expense of legal working Americans. No way Trump or DeSantis would allow "the misguided" to endanger the nation. Now if only our LW commissioner would realize his DUTY is to the legal voters in Lake Worth, and not to the illegals stealing from all of us.
