Trump adversaries celebrate closure of Alligator Alcatraz as a 'significant victory for America'

In a significant turn of events, the controversial immigration detention centre known as Alligator Alcatraz in Florida's Everglades has been ordered to close. The decision was made by US District Judge Kathleen Williams due to violations of environmental laws.

The closure of Alligator Alcatraz has been widely celebrated as a 'big win' and a 'major win' for the USA, particularly by critics of the Trump administration. Renowned YouTuber Dean Withers expressed his support, stating that it's a 'BIG WIN for America'. US journalist Ed Krassen even went as far as to say that the closure is a 'huge win for humanity'.

The US Department of Homeland Security (US-Heimatschutzministerium) and the state of Florida have both filed appeals against the ruling. The Department of Homeland Security shared an AI image on Twitter featuring alligators wearing ICE caps and depicted outside a prison-like facility with barbed wire fencing. This image, along with another showing Trump touring Alligator Alcatraz over the summer, sparked widespread criticism.

Reports suggest that detainees at Alligator Alcatraz have faced poor conditions. Environmental groups and the Miccosukee Tribe have hailed the decision as a landmark victory for the Everglades.
