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 Twitler appointee, didn’t make a ruling or issue an injunction.
