💨 Abstract

A legal challenge to the "Alligator Alcatraz" immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades is facing a venue dispute. Government attorneys argue that the lawsuit, filed in the southern district, should be moved to the middle district as the center is in Collier County. Environmental groups counter that impacts on Miami-Dade justify the southern district venue. A judge did not rule on the matter.
