The moment was another reminder that shutting down “Alligator Alcatraz” is what the people want. The Everglades are no place for a destructive prison that illegally bypassed federal environmental law, and together, we will stop it. 2/3

We are not giving up, and we are proud to have your support. If you can, donate at everglades.org/everglades-defense-fund, or share this post to help us educate the public on the shady, secretive Everglades detention center. 5/5

Now the government is dragging its feet in court to dodge accountability, but we won’t give up. In fact, we’ve filed *another* lawsuit against the Florida Division of Emergency Management for failing to disclose public records related to this bad project. 4/5

But we now know the state applied for FEMA funds *during* our August trial. Florida collected $608 million from the federal government for “Alligator Alcatraz” on Sept. 30, right before the government shutdown. 3/5

But two weeks later, in September, an appeals court paused that order. The split decision rested on misleading claims that the state didn’t have to follow federal law because the project wasn’t receiving federal money. 2/5
