The fate of Alligator Alcatraz is now in the hands of a Miami federal judge who over the last four months sanctioned Florida’s Republican attorney general and blocked police from enforcing a new state immigration law.

Officials said Alligator Alcatraz will not hold minors — but a 15 year old was held there for 3 days.

The Mexican teen, who has no criminal record, was arrested during a traffic stop in Tampa.
