Legal Battle Over Access to Attorneys at 'Alligator Alcatraz' Immigration Center in Florida Everglades
A federal judge in Florida is working to resolve a lawsuit concerning the access to attorneys for detainees at an immigration center in the Florida Everglades, nicknamed "Alligator Alcatraz." U.S. District Judge Sheri Polster Chappell has scheduled a two-day conference in her Fort Myers courtroom next month, requiring attorneys with settlement authority to attend. The judge will receive an update on the case at a hearing next Monday.
