Dismantling of Alligator Alcatraz to Continue After Judge Denies Request for Delay
The Epoch Times ^ | August 28, 2025 | T. J. Muscaro

A federal judge has denied the federal government’s request to delay the significant dismantling of the South Florida detention facility—also known as Alligator Alcatraz—at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport.

In a previous order, the judge had halted the transfer of detainees to the center, stopped new construction, and ordered the removal of some aspects of the facility.

U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams of the District Court for the Southern District of Florida released her decision on Aug. 27, after attorneys for the Department of Homeland Security and the Florida Division of Emergency Management submitted a motion to stay her preliminary injunction because of their pending appeal.

I'd like to know just what has to happen in this country before habeas corpus gets suspended. We have a completely politicized judiciary from the top down which needs to be gagged because it is a clear and present danger to the ultimate survival of the nation.

It’s going to come to that, BUT that’s what the left is wanting. So then they can claim Trump is violating oath of office and ignoring court orders.

That’s why Roberts hasn’t smacked down these judges. They are doing this at his approval.

In which of the “Federalist Papers” does Hamilton or Madison tell people not to worry about the President having too much power, because any one judge in the country will always be able to block a Presidential initiative?

Ignore the damn order!!! President Auto Pen openly bragged about the SCOTUS ruling on student loans so he’s set the precedent.

There was an article here on FR yesterday reporting Alligator Alcatraz is basically shut down now. Almost all detainees have been transferred to other facilities.

The Left has won this round.

Alligator Alcatraz can never truly close if we keep it in our hearts forever.

I don’t see how a judge can order that it be dismantled. She can order that no one get put in it, but I don’t see how she has the authority to say it should be torn down.

The "news" these days is just the slow realtime in-progress swamp draining.

In the car, I often listen to the enemedia thru NPR. I think it quite remarkable that embedded in their Trump whinings about NG to Chicago, NPR mentioned this could be accomplished thru the Insurrection Act.

I would have added to that the mostly-unknownst, but knownst to Trump and his team, about PEADS.

That'll take care of habeas corpus for the swamp dwellers.

Trump prides himself on following the law, so he won’t ignore the judges order.

He’ll likely put in an emergency appeal to stay the order.

Is this overreach ever gonna stop? I’m getting sick and tired of logging in here to FR and seeing article after article about judicial activists working against Trump.

Alligator Alcatraz. was a temporary facility set up to obtain free earned media coverage to send a clear message to the illegal alien community and to act as bait for Leftist judges to shut down to gain public support for deportation.

It has succeeded so far and served it's purpose. Illegals are on notice that the US is getting serious about detention and deportation and this case is clear Judicial overreach.

The judges decision will b overturned on appeal and set yet another precedent that will affirm President Trumps deportation powers and clear the deck for larger scale deportations in the future.

Most important, these types of judicial defiance and driving public support for deportation higher and higher and public sympathy for illegal aliens lower and lower with American voters.
