Florida officials argue a lawsuit over the Everglades detention center was filed in the wrong court, as environmental groups seek to halt expansion.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration has already signed at least $245 million in state contracts to set up and run the new immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades.

State contracts for Florida's controversial "Alligator Alcatraz" detention camp were removed from a public database and replaced with far less detailed documents after media outlets began writing about them last week.
