An infamous immigration detention center in Florida is set to close "within a few days," according to a new report.

The Associated Press reported on Wednesday that Florida officials will shut down the "Alligator Alcatraz" facility after a judge ordered them to cease operations. The order was in response to a lawsuit filed by environmental groups and a Native American tribe who accused Florida officials of bypassing environmental review regulations to build the detention center.

“We are probably going to be down to 0 individuals within a few days,” wrote Kevin Guthrie, executive director of the Florida Department of Emergency Management, to a local rabbi in an email reported by the Associated Press.

"Alligator Alcatraz," a more than 4,000-bed detention facility in the Florida Everglades, is a joint venture between the federal government and Florida's emergency management office. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, said in July that the Trump administration asked them to create the facility, and it took the state just eight days to complete the facility once construction began, according to media reports.

The facility costs about $450 million to operate for a single year, according to reports.

In her order, Judge Kathleen M. Williams of the Southern District of Florida argued that Florida officials sought to "put the cart before the horse" by building the facility and then filling in the regulatory requirements later.
