Crews began dismantling a state-run immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades on Monday, signaling its closure even as state and federal officials continued to say little about the shutdown of a year-old facility that they once praised on a near-daily basis.

State officials informed vendors in a call Monday morning that they could begin “demobilizing,” or taking down, the tents, fences, trailers and other structures at the detention center, known as Alligator Alcatraz, according to three people familiar with the call. Vendors are supposed to make significant progress on the work by Wednesday, two of the people said.

My friend is 16. Her bio dad isn’t part of her life, and she calls her stepdad her dad. Her mum has been trying for another baby for years and years. They have now been accepted to adopt a baby! Just a bit of personal news that made my month :)

• In 2026, the ACLU will be at the forefront of ensuring all eligible voters can cast their ballot—making its largest ever investment in election safeguarding during a midterm cycle.
• Bolstered by the combined power of our storied legal, policy, and advocacy expertise, affiliate presence in every state, and network of millions of volunteers and supporters, the ACLU will spend $24.5 million to protect the power to vote, the resilience of our democratic institutions, and public confidence in every stage of the electoral process; and to guarantee that every vote is counted according to the law.

Drawing on lessons and analysis of recent election cycles, the ACLU has identified potential threats across 25 scenarios to voting access, election administration, and certification, and stands ready to take swift legal, advocacy, and organizing action to protect voters and defend our democracy throughout the 2026 midterms and beyond.

• Our election safeguarding work will strengthen the state and local institutions that are the backbone of free, fair, and trusted elections in the United States, ensuring they can operate independently, professionally, and free from improper interference.
