💨 Abstract

A dispute over the jurisdiction of a lawsuit against an immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades is ongoing. Florida’s emergency management chief argues the lawsuit should be moved to the middle district since the facility is located in Collier County. Environmentalists claim the project violates state and federal environmental laws. DeSantis and U.S. Homeland Security support the facility as part of expanded immigration detention efforts under former President Trump.
