From the Daily Wire:

An Obama-appointed federal district court judge issued a temporary restraining order last month ordering Florida and the Trump administration to stop placing illegal aliens in the facility. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked that judge’s order in a 2-1 decision on Thursday.

The judges ruled that a lawsuit brought by environmental groups and an American Indian tribe “failed to state a viable claim” that Florida and the Department of Homeland Security violated federal environmental laws.

“Given that the federal government has an undisputed and wide-reaching interest in combatting illegal immigration, and that illegal immigration is a matter of national security and public safety, we think the injunction issued below goes against the public interest,” the majority wrote in the court’s decision.

IFA covered the initial ruling in late August, in which a judge ordered that the facility shut down in two months and spot accepting new migrants. Now, however, this facility will remain open and active for the time being.

Alligator Alcatraz has faced non-stop criticism since its creation. The Trump administration itself has also faced constant criticism since January. Many have opposed the President’s mass deportations and ICE raids, with some even threatening and insulting law enforcement in protest.

Alligator Alcatraz may be fine for now, but the battle isn’t over. Let’s ask God to protect President Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and other leaders across the nation as they work to deport criminals and make our nation safer!
