Joe Raedle/Getty Images Florida's controversial immigration detention facility, known as "Alligator Alcatraz," has officially closed after operating for nearly a year, with Gov. Ron DeSantis declaring Thursday that the site had "served its purpose" in supporting the Trump administration's mass deportation efforts.
