Environmental groups filed a federal lawsuit to block a migrant detention center being built on an airstrip in the heart of the Florida Everglades. The lawsuit filed Friday seeks to halt the project until it undergoes a stringent environmental review as required by federal law. The lawsuit filed in Miami federal court says there is also supposed to be a chance for public comment. Gov. Ron DeSantis says Friday on "Fox and Friends" that the center he dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" is set to begin processing people who entered the U.S. illegally as soon as next week.

President Donald Trump on Monday said he was pardoning about 1,500 of his supporters who have been charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol attack, using his sweeping clemency powers on his first day back in office to dismantle the largest investigation and prosecution in Justice Department history.The pardons were expected after Trump’s years-long campaign to rewrite the history of the Jan. 6 attack that left more than 100 police officers injured and threatened the peaceful transfer of power. Yet the scope of the clemency still comes as a massive blow to the Justice Department’s effort to hold participants accountable over what has been described as one of the darkest days in American history.There was no word on specific individual cases involving Southwest Florida participants such as Christopher Worrell from Naples.

Government attorneys argued in court that a legal challenge to a hastily-built immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades was filed in the wrong jurisdiction. Wednesday's hearing was the first of two hearings over the legality of "Alligator Alcatraz" in a lawsuit brought by environmental groups. Federal and state government attorneys argue that even though the property is owned by Miami-Dade County, Florida's southern district is the wrong venue for the lawsuit since the detention center is located in neighboring Collier County, which is in the state's middle district. Any decision by the judge could influence another lawsuit over the center brought by civil rights groups.
