Federal Judge Miami In the lawsuit, the Immigration Detention Center in Florida Everglass, known as the “Crocodile Orcatraz”, made a split decision on the detainee’s legal rights, dismissed some of the lawsuits and handed over the case to other jurisdictions.
U.S. District Court Judge Rodolfo Ruiz released the decision on Monday, written in a 47-page ruling, claiming that detainees at the facility do not have a confidential visiting attorney or immigration court hearing. Trump administration Recently, the Krome North machining center near Miami was designated as their case.
The judge heard a debate between the two sides at a hearing earlier on Monday Miami. Civil rights lawyers are seeking preliminary injunctions to ensure that detainees at the facility can get in touch with lawyers and have a hearing.
The state and federal governments argue that even if the isolated Air Force runway where the facility is located is owned by Miami-Dade County, Florida, because the southern part of Florida is the wrong place because the detention center is located in the neighboring Collier County in the central part of the state.
Judge Ruiz hinted at a hearing last week that he was concerned about which jurisdiction was appropriate.
“A lot has changed since the complaint was filed,” Ruiz wrote.
Six plaintiffs met with attorneys via video conference, although they claimed that the meetings were not confidential because they were not in the enclosed room and that employees were nearby and listened to the approach of the detainees.
A portion of the detainees claimed they were eligible for bond hearings and their attorneys “cannot access (but separately identify) the appropriate courts for these hearings.”
But Ruiz pointed out that the facts that happened Saturday changed when Trump administration Designate insect facilities as immigration courts with jurisdiction over all detainees in the detention center.
Ruiz wrote that the case has been filed several weeks after the first group of detainees arrived at the facility.
“The plaintiff’s civil litigation is about every aspect of the plaintiff’s civil litigation – their cause of action, their supporting facts, their theory of the location, their arguments on the merits and requests for relief – changed with each application.”
The judge approved the state defendants to change the venue motion to Central Florida, and the remaining claims regarding First Amendment violations will be resolved.
The defendants of the state and federal government made the same argument last week regarding jurisdiction in the second lawsuit, in which the Environmental Group and the Mixoki Tribe filed a lawsuit to cease further construction and action at the Everglades Detention Center until they comply with federal environmental laws.
On August 7, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams was ordered to stop for 14 days in Miami’s additional construction at the site, while witnesses testified at a hearing that ended last week. She said she plans to issue a ruling later this week before the order expires. She has not ruled on the venue issue yet.
