- Democratic lawmakers denied entry to Florida immigration detention facility — Five Florida Democratic state lawmakers attempted to enter the Dade-Collier Training and Transition facility (dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz"), a new federal-state immigration detention jail in Ochopee, Florida, on Thursday, July 3, 2025, one day after the first detainees arrived. Law enforcement officers from local agencies blocked their entry. The lawmakers issued a joint statement calling the blockage "a blatant abuse of power and an attempt to conceal human rights violations." The facility, managed by the state and largely funded by FEMA, is part of the Trump administration's expanded immigration enforcement operations.
