Aug. 18 (UPI) -- A Florida federal judge heard arguments Monday about the conditions at "Alligator Alcatraz" immigration detention center in the Everglades but ended the hearing without a ruling.
U.S. District Judge Rodolfo Ruiz II heard arguments about detainee access to attorneys, if an immigration court was assigned for those at the camp, and if the case was filed in the correct federal court.
Ruiz, a Trump appointee, didn't make a ruling or issue an injunction.
"What is happening at 'Alligator Alcatraz' is not normal," Eunice Cho, senior counsel with the American Civil Liberties Union's National Prison Project and the lead attorney in the case, told the court.
