Florida Democrats launch lawsuit against Gov. DeSantis over ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ access
SUMMARY: Several Democratic Florida state lawmakers filed a lawsuit against Governor Ron DeSantis and FDEM Director Kevin Guthrie after being denied entry to the “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration detention facility. The legislators argue the site qualifies as a state detention facility, granting them legal visitation rights. FDEM countered, stating their authority applies only to legislative committees, not individual lawmakers, and the facility isn’t a state correctional institution under Florida law. The suit seeks a court order forcing immediate access. The governor’s office called the lawsuit frivolous, noting an invitation had been extended for a weekend tour.

The House continues investigating former President Biden’s mental fitness and pressures the Trump administration for more disclosure in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Additionally, attention focuses on oversight of CDC leadership changes and a renewed push to ban lawmakers from trading individual stocks.
