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.

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.
