Judge to hear arguments on halting ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ construction over environmental concerns

US District Judge Kathleen Williams ordered a two-week halt on new construction last Thursday as witnesses continued to testify in a hearing to determine whether construction should end until the ultimate resolution of the case.
