Pollution Case Dropped After Facility Closes | Orlando News
Description
The Center for Biological Diversity has dropped its federal lawsuit over toxic air pollution from Florida’s now-closed migrant detention center — nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz” — since the facility’s shutdown means the pollution source is gone. The group, which sought daily fines for violations of the Clean Air Act, says its environmental goal has been met. But they’re not done: another lawsuit is still active, targeting the state for failing to complete required environmental reviews before construction. The group vows to ensure full cleanup and restoration of the site’s surrounding environment, keeping pressure on officials for accountability.
