A US federal judge has temporarily halted construction at Florida's Everglades detention facility, dubbed 'Alligator Alcatraz,' due to potential environmental violations. The order suspends further development for two weeks while the court evaluates the case brought by environmental groups and the Miccosukee Tribe. They argue the facility threatens protected wetlands and wildlife, jeopardizing restoration efforts.
