A group of Florida Democrats in Congress introduced a bill to cut off funding for Alligator Alcatraz and any immigration detention facility located in or near the Everglades. The bill aims to ensure access, public disclosure on how it operates, and Congressional oversight.

The eight Democrats said they introduced the "No Cages in the Everglades Act." The bill faces long odds of passage in the House, where Republicans hold a 220-212 majority.
