SUMMARY: Lawmakers will tour Florida’s new migrant detention center, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” amid allegations of inhumane conditions.

Here’s what you need to know about hurricane supplies
SUMMARY: Hurricane season is underway in South Florida, but many people have delayed buying supplies due to a slow start and waiting for deals. A new hurricane sales tax holiday starts August 1 and will be year-round, offering savings on essential items. Meanwhile, Amazon Prime Day features big discounts on batteries, lanterns, emergency radios, and solar generators, often better than the upcoming tax holiday. Walmart also has some deals, while Target has fewer. Experts advise spreading out purchases weekly until the tax holiday to ease costs. With the first major hurricane expected around August 11, itβs wise to prepare now.
