Judge Orders the Closure of Alligator Alcatraz
Earlier this week, a federal judge in Florida ordered Alligator Alcatraz to shut down within two months. The temporary restraining order also prevents the Trump administration and Florida law enforcement from detaining any more migrants in the facility.

From the Daily Wire:
[Florida federal Judge Kathleen] Williams, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, ordered the immigration detention center shut down within 60 days, and the state has been ordered to begin removing equipment from the facility as soon as possible.
Fox News National Correspondent Bill Melugin shared details late on Thursday: “BREAKING: Florida federal judge Kathleen Williams (Obama appointee) is ordering Florida to shut down Alligator Alcatraz within 60 days and is blocking the state & the Trump admin from bringing any new detainees into the facility from this point forward.”
“She is also demanding that the state start removing all generators, gas, sewage, etc from Alligator Alcatraz. This is a temporary restraining order (TRO), meaning the merits of the underlying case will continue to be litigated while judge Williams orders Alligator Alcatraz to shut down,” Melugin added.
The left has strongly opposed Alligator Alcatraz since it was first created, with some likening it to Nazi-style concentration camps. It’s no surprise, then, that an Obama-appointee would aim to shut down the facility.
Interestingly, this order comes as Republicans are pushing to build more ‘Alligator Alcatrazes’ across the country. One GOP representative recently introduced a bill, the ALCATRAZ Act, designed to help states construct their own version of Florida’s detention facility.
From the Daily Wire:
North Carolina Rep. Addison McDowell has introduced the ALCATRAZ Act, The Daily Wire can first report. The bill would provide financial support for states that assist ICE’s illegal alien detention efforts by establishing or maintaining detention facilities, a critical component of the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign.
“Illegal immigrants are here because of the Left’s open border policies. No more.” McDowell told The Daily Wire. “Through codifying President Trump’s executive actions, no longer will illegals be put up in swanky hotels for extended stays. Now they will face swift deportation.”
If passed and signed into law, the bill would reappropriate funds from the Biden administration’s Shelter and Services Program, which housed migrants in luxury hotels, to the new Detention and Logistics Program. This new program would then reimburse states that build Alligator Alcatraz-style detention centers.
For his part, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said he and other state officials would not “be deterred.” He slammed the ruling as a “preordained” order from an “activist judge,” and even announced Florida would be opening another facility outside of Jacksonville. You can view his statement here.
So where does this leave us? As the fight over Alligator Alcatraz ramps up, let’s fight in the spiritual realm through intercession. Let’s thank God for leaders like Governor DeSantis and President Trump, and let’s pray they’re protected as they fight to make our nation safer!

“Fret not thyself because of evildoers, Neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; So shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; Trust also in him; And he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, And thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: But those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. The wicked plotteth against the just, And gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: For he seeth that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, And their bows shall be broken. A little that a righteous man hath is better Than the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: But the LORD upholdeth the righteous. The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: And their inheritance shall be for ever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: But the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; And they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: And he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: For the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; And his seed is blessed. Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell for evermore. For the LORD loveth judgment, And forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell therein for ever. The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, And his tongue talketh of judgment. The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide. The wicked watcheth the righteous, And seeketh to slay him. The LORD will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged. Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: For the end of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: The end of the wicked shall be cut off. But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.”
Psalm 37:1-40 KJV
The word of God stands concrete and as solid as ever, unshakable, no matter how reeling the differences may be in the opinions and actions of the corrupt.
Grateful to be assured that sound doctrine and Kingdom order WILL come to pass!
Thank you Jen.

“Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him: but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.”

This whole site sounds good but is really mis leading because you are asking Christians to do things Christians should starting with supporting the most unchristian President of my lifetime.
One scripture stands out love your neighbor and our President does not believe that.
You stance is hurting your religion and destroying America because it makes you look like hypocrite
