Florida’s controversial immigration detention center, known as "Alligator Alcatraz" could shut down as early as next month.
The New York Times and CBS News are both reporting that vendors were supposedly told on Tuesday, May 12, that the facility is closing.
The state runs the center built in the Everglades in eastern Collier County. It has been the subject of numerous lawsuits over its environmental impact and treatment of detainees.
News reports also say that it costs the state more than $1 million dollars per day to run.
The DeSantis Administration has not publicly commented.
