Floridas Alligator Alcatraz will likely be empty within days, email shows | LiveNOW from FOX

The scaling down of Alligator Alcatraz is continuing after a federal judge stood by her decision to require the state to close the deportation center within 60 days. The number of migrants there is dwindling, and Democrats are calling it a huge waste of money. The judge affirming her decision to close down Alligator Alcatraz comes just under two months after Alligator Alcatraz had the highest profile opening possible, with a visit from President Donald Trump. “I wouldn’t want to run through the Everglades for long,“ he said on July 1, the day it opened. “It will keep people where they’re supposed to be.“ The Associated Press reported Tuesday that a top Florida official said “Alligator Alcatraz“ will likely be empty within days, according to an email exchange shared with the outlet.
