‘Alligator Alcatraz’ could be emitting hundreds of tons of toxic gases, new case claims

A lawsuit claims Florida's Everglades immigrant detention center, dubbed 'Alligator Alcatraz,' is emitting hundreds of tons of toxic gases annually without a required air quality permit. The Center for Biological Diversity alleges violations of the Clean Air Act, citing an environmental assessment showing the facility's diesel generators and lighting towers could emit over 509 tons of carbon monoxide and 204 tons of nitrogen oxides yearly.
