On Monday, a federal judge fired a part of the cases brought by the detainees at a temporary immigrants at the Florida Everglade, the Trump administration and the Florida state officials handed over a partial victory – although other challenges on “crocodile Alkatraz” are still pending.
The lawyers of civil rights had sued the Trump administration and the state of Florida, demanding an initial prohibition to ensure that the prisoners in the convenience had confidential reach to the lawyers. It is a controversial detention facility, cast by the Trump administration as a symbol of its crack on illegal immigration, it is a controversial detention facility, which is challenging to reduce environmental rules with a lawsuit with a lawsuit with a lawsuit.
But after a hearing on Monday, American District Judge Rodolfo Ruiz at Miami Dismissed A part of his trial in which the government was violating the fifth amendment as it was not clear for weeks that the immigration court had jurisd the jurisdiction to the crocodile Alkatraz, which stopped the prisoners from filing the court petition. Ruiz ruled that the claim is now moot as the government has publicly stated that the courts will hear the claims of the prisoners at the Chrome Detention Center in South Florida.
“The court can’t do any more,” Ruiz wrote.
The judge did not dismiss several other claims that the government is allegedly violating the earlier amendment, making it difficult for the prisoners to talk to its lawyers, especially in confidential settings. Ruiz said that “a dispute” continues. But he ordered the case to be transferred to a separate federal court, as Elegator Alkatraz is technically within the boundaries of the Central District in Orlando, Florida.
The federal government has denied that the defendants have been blocked from a meeting with lawyers.
Crocodile alkatraz jurisdiction clarification
Civil rights lawyer Ruiz wanted them to identify an immigration court Jurisdiction at detention center So that petitions can be filed for the bonds or release of prisoners. Lawyers say that the hearing of their cases has been regularly canceled by judges in the federal Florida immigration courts, who say they do not have the jurisdiction of the prisoners held in Everglades.
At the beginning of Monday’s hearing, government lawyers said that they would nominate the Immigration Court at the Chrome North Service Processing Center in Miami region, which would have a jurisdiction over the prohibition in the Everglaids in an attempt to address the constitutional concerns of the lawyers of civil rights lawyers. The judge told the government lawyers that he did not expect that he would change the designation without good reasons.
But before delaying the main issues of prisoners’ rights, Ruiz wanted to hear whether Miami was sued under proper jurisdiction. The state and the federal government defenders have argued that even though the different airstrip was constructed, Miami-Dad is owned by County, the southern district of Florida is wrong as the Detention Center is located in the neighboring collier county, which is in the central district of the state.
The hearing ended without a judge. Ruiz suggested that the case against federal defendants may be suitable for the southern district because A US immigration and customs enforcement The office in Miami is responsible for monitoring the center under an agreement between the state and the federal governments.
But Ruiz also questioned whether the case against the state’s defendants could be better in the Central district, as all the alleged civil rights were violated at the convenience of violations, which is located several miles outside the southern district in Kolier County.
All the parties have agreed that if complaints against the state are taken to any other site, complaints against the federal government should also be transferred.

The state says the claims in the trial are false
The State Florida has made controversial claims that crocodiles are Alkatraz captive Unable to meet with his lawyersState lawyers said that since July 15, when Videoconfringing started in convenience, the state has approved every request for a prisoner to meet with a lawyer, and the in-tradition meeting started from July 28. The first prisoners arrived in early July.
But the civil rights lawyers said that even though lawyers were determined to meet in the prevention center with their customers, it is not in private or confidential, and it is more restrictive than other immigration detention features. He said that the delay and the need for an inappropriate advanced notice has obstructed their ability to meet with the prisoners, violating their constitutional rights.
Civil rights lawyers stated that the authorities are going cell-to-cells to signs the prisoners to sign the voluntary removal orders before allowing their lawyers to consult, and some detainees have been deported, even though they did not have the final removal. With a respiratory infection and the spread of rain water, its tents are flooding, the circumstances have promoted a feeling of frustration among the prisoners, the lawyers have written in a court.
