New Delhi, Aug. 22 -- A federal judge on Thursday blocked the administration of President Donald Trump and the state of Florida from transferring any new detainees to a remote migrant detention facility in the Florida Everglades, commonly referred to as "Alligator Alcatraz."

U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams also ordered parts of the facility to be dismantled as current detainees are relocated, according to a court filing from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Reuters reported.

The judge ruled in favor of environmental groups who argued that the detention facility poses a threat to the Everglades ecosystem and its wildlife.
