… U.S. District Judge Kathleen M. Williams entered a preliminary injunction to prevent the installation of any additional industrial-style lighting and any site expansion. Her ruling further prevents “bringing any additional persons ... who were not already being detained at the site at the time of this order.”….
The ruling was filed late Thursday, allowing the injunction that was requested over National Environmental Policy Act violations.
Within 60 days, the facility must also remove “all generators, gas, sewage, and other waste and waste receptacles that were installed to support this project,” the 82-page ruling said.
It must also remove additional lighting that was installed for the detention facility. Light pollution was a hot topic during the hearings earlier this month.

An immediate federal court appeal will shut this tyrant judge down.
This ruling is far outside of this judge’s authority.
An immediate federal court appeal will shut this tyrant judge down.“
We’ll see, it’s a dangerous precedent using environmental law as a back door
EIS - environmental impact statement
EA - environmental assessment
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
CASE NO. 25-22896-CV-WILLIAMSFRIENDS OF THE EVERGLADES, INC., et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.
KRISTI NOEM, et al.,
Defendants.OMNIBUS ORDER
At 50
Prior to such construction, however, the Defendants were required, under NEPA, to issue an EIS or conduct an EA. The Defendants chose not to do so. Under the APA, the “failure to act” qualifies as an “agency action.” 5 U.S.C. § 551(13). The Defendants’ decision to refrain from issuing an EIS or conducting an EA, and then building a detention camp, represents a determinative position on the matter and has adversely affected Plaintiffs’ recreational, conservational, and aesthetic interests. Accordingly, the Defendants’ decision to not issue an EIS or conduct an EA and then construct a detention camp qualifies as a final agency action. See Hall v. Norton, 266 F.3d 969 (9th Cir. 2001) (explaining that a “decision not to prepare an EIS is a final agency action”); Hill v. Boy, 144 F.3d 1446, 1450 (11th Cir. 1998) (“We review an agency’s decision not to prepare an EIS under an ‘arbitrary and capricious’ standard of review.”); Catron Cnty. Bd. of Comm'rs, New Mexico v. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Serv., 75 F.3d 1429, 1434 (10th Cir. 1996) (alleged failure to comply with NEPA constitutes “final agency action”); Citizens for Clean Energy v. U.S. Dep’t of the Interior, 384 F. Supp. 3d 1264, 1280–81 (D. Mont. 2019) (“Federal Defendants further initiated a final agency action in their decision not to begin the NEPA process.”); Dine Citizens Against Ruining Our Env’t v. Klein, 676 F. Supp. 2d 1198, 1214 (D. Colo. 2009) (explaining that an agency’s failure to prepare an environmental assessment or “failure to otherwise comply with NEPA constitutes final agency action”); San Juan Citizens’ Alliance v. Babbitt, 228 F.Supp.2d 1224, 1229 (D. Colo. 2002) (“A failure to prepare an EIS is a final agency action within the meaning
[51]
of the APA.”).
The decision to construct and operate the detention camp, despite Defendants’ characterization of the camp as “temporary,” cannot be considered “merely tentative or interlocutory” because the EIS or EA must precede any “major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.” § 4332(C). Under the statutory language, the Defendants cannot put the cart before the horse—they cannot construct a facility and, then only in response to litigation such as the instant case, decide to fulfill their legal obligations.

42 U.S.C. § 4332
§4332. Cooperation of agencies; reports; availability of information; recommendations; international and national coordination of effortsThe Congress authorizes and directs that, to the fullest extent possible: (1) the policies, regulations, and public laws of the United States shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with the policies set forth in this chapter, and (2) all agencies of the Federal Government shall—
(A) utilize a systematic, interdisciplinary approach which will ensure the integrated use of the natural and social sciences and the environmental design arts in planning and in decisionmaking which may have an impact on man's environment;
(B) identify and develop methods and procedures, in consultation with the Council on Environmental Quality established by subchapter II of this chapter, which will ensure that presently unquantified environmental amenities and values may be given appropriate consideration in decisionmaking along with economic and technical considerations;
(C) consistent with the provisions of this chapter and except where compliance would be inconsistent with other statutory requirements, include in every recommendation or report on proposals for legislation and other major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment, a detailed statement by the responsible official on—
(i) reasonably foreseeable environmental effects of the proposed agency action;
(ii) any reasonably foreseeable adverse environmental effects which cannot be avoided should the proposal be implemented;
(iii) a reasonable range of alternatives to the proposed agency action, including an analysis of any negative environmental impacts of not implementing the proposed agency action in the case of a no action alternative, that are technically and economically feasible, and meet the purpose and need of the proposal;
(iv) the relationship between local short-term uses of man's environment and the maintenance and enhancement of long-term productivity; and
(v) any irreversible and irretrievable commitments of Federal resources which would be involved in the proposed agency action should it be implemented.
Prior to making any detailed statement, the head of the lead agency shall consult with and obtain the comments of any Federal agency which has jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to any environmental impact involved. Copies of such statement and the comments and views of the appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, which are authorized to develop and enforce environmental standards, shall be made available to the President, the Council on Environmental Quality and to the public as provided by section 552 of title 5, and shall accompany the proposal through the existing agency review processes;

Federal judge orders closure of Trump’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ immigration jail in Florida
U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams was appointed by former President Barack Obama to serve as a judge in the Southern District of Florida in 2011.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/21/trump-alligator-alcatraz-judge-ruling
Go suck seaweed bitch.
The judge was appointed by President Obama. The United States Senate confirmed her appointment by unanimous consent on August 2, 2011. Republican Marco Rubio and Democrat Bill Nelson were the two senators from Florida at the time of the vote. The judge sits on the U.S. District Court for Southern Florida. Apparently all Republicans senators considered the judge fully qualified for the appointment.
Tell the nasty old hag to take a hike and get a real job. She’s in over her head with this one.
Save all the sewage and load it onto truck to be dropped off on the female “judge’s” desk.
these judges need to be disbarred
