Lawsuit Claims Florida Illegally Withheld Public Records
Friends of the Everglades, Inc., has accused the Florida government of misleading a judge by not disclosing certain records about the "Alligator Alcatraz" detention site.
A new lawsuit filed by Friends of the Everglades against the Florida Department of Emergency Management accuses the state agency of denying the existence of public records requested by the nonprofit, only to later admit they existed all along.
Despite acknowledging their existence, FOTE attorneys say the state has still not produced the records.
The lawsuit was filed in Circuit Court in Leon County, just five days after FDEM announced plans to open and operate the so-called "Alligator Alcatraz" immigrant detention center in the Everglades on June 19.
