The Trump administration on Tuesday notched a partial win in court as a federal judge declared some of the claims of detainees at "Alligator Alcatraz" to be moot.
The facility has become an iconic symbol of Trump's mass deportation efforts and earned notoriety for the presence of the eponymous reptile near the grounds. Inmates had sued the administration, alleging that the government had violated their 5th Amendment and 1st Amendment rights.
U.S. District Judge Rodolfo Ruiz on Tuesday declared the 5th Amendment claims moot in light of the administration's designation of a Miami-based immigration court to handle the cases, The Hill reported.

So, NOW, these illegals want to do the legal thing?
If they go back to where they came from then they won't end up in "Alligator Alcatraz"
But that makes too much sense. You know that ability escapes so many of them.
not being put there should encourage them to leave
If they self deport, they can leave at any time
