YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In Florida, a federal judge has upheld her ruling to wind down the Everglades detention center known as Alligator Alcatraz by late October. The decision comes after e-mails emerged from last week showing a Florida official signaling that most detainees will be gone within a few days. The facility opened just last month. State officials say Florida stands to lose most of the $218 million invested in the project.
