💨 Abstract
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration built an immigration detention center in the Everglades, codenamed "Alligator Alcatraz," rapidly and without informing local officials. The project utilized an executive order to bypass laws and regulations, seizing land and hiring contractors swiftly. Local officials in Collier County were caught off guard, receiving information through emails and rumors rather than official channels. Environmental groups have sued, alleging illegal bypassing of laws.
