Florida has evacuated its Alligator Alcatraz detention facility in the Everglades due to concerns over hurricane risks. The facility, which opened last year, is primarily composed of tents that are not well-suited for hurricane conditions. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stated that the facility's soft structure could endanger detainees, prompting the transfer of all individuals to other facilities. ICE noted that the move was made for the safety of the detainees as the hurricane season begins. It is unclear if the detainees will return to the facility or if this evacuation will lead to its permanent closure. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis indicated that the facility was intended to be temporary, suggesting that its operations may be winding down.
