“Crews began dismantling a state-run immigration [concentration camp] in the Florida Everglades on Monday, signaling its closure even as state and federal officials continued to say little about the shutdown of a year-old facility that they once praised on a near-daily basis. State officials informed vendors in a call Monday morning that they could begin ‘demobilizing,’ or taking down, the tents, fences, trailers, and other structures at the [concentration camp], known as Alligator Alcatraz, according to three people familiar with the call. … The directive came days after the Department of Homeland Security said that all detainees had been transferred out of the remote center, which opened a little less than a year ago to much fanfare from President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis, his fellow Republican.” (06/23/26)
