Environmental groups Friday gave formal notice that they could sue federal and state agencies over alleged violations of the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act at Alligator Alcatraz

In a newly filed legal notice, environmental groups accused the government agencies of ignoring even more environmental regulations while building and opening Alligator Alcatraz, despite the governor’s pledge to have “zero impacts” on the Everglades.

Gov. Ron DeSantis is pushing back on a new lawsuit filed this week by Florida Democrats related to the recent opening and conditions at "Alligator Alcatraz."

Alligator Alcatraz is a temporary migrant detention center near the Florida Everglades. The controversial center reportedly has a capacity of up to 3,000 detainees, housed in FEMA tents and trailers.

DarkSky International in 2016 designated Florida’s Big Cypress National Preserve as the nation’s first preserve to achieve “dark sky” status.

Cited concerns included light pollution, saying the bright lights from the facility are diminishing the internationally recognized dark skies of Big Cypress.

Amid allegations of deplorable conditions in Alligator Alcatraz, mayor of Miami-Dade County asks the feds and state government for access to the site.

The state is inviting lawmakers to visit the migrant detention center, but turned away lawmakers who showed up unannounced.
