Today, August 21, 2025, Congresswoman Frederica Wilson issued a statement regarding U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams’ order to shut down ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ within 60 Days:

“After so much pressure from me and my colleagues, FINALLY ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ IS CLOSING DOWN. IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME!  It was cruel, careless, and destructive from the start and should have never been built. I’m glad it’s closing, and we must never repeat the mistakes made at this facility anywhere else!”
