A lawsuit claims detainees at Florida’s 'Alligator Alcatraz' are denied legal access, with no way to challenge their detention or contact attorneys.

The Florida Supreme Court sent another lawsuit from Democratic state lawmakers to the circuit court in Leon County. The lawmakers sued after they were denied entry to the facility on July 3. No hearings have been held or scheduled yet.

Without permanent structures, electricity or running water, logistical headaches have emerged at “Alligator Alcatraz.”
