A Florida judge has formally demanded proof of the Alligator Alcatraz detention facility's closure, challenging previous state assertions.
Assessment

Concurrently, families of migrants transferred from the facility to the Miami Federal Detention Center (FDC) allege severe overcrowding and abuse, though these claims remain unverified by independent oversight.
