The Miccosukee Tribe of Florida cites "significant concerns about environmental degradation" and threats to "traditional and religious ceremonies."

An advisor to the Miccosukee Tribe says Gov. Ron DeSantis is threatening his legacy as an environmentalist by leading the way on Alligator Alcatraz.

"The Tribe remains committed to ensuring its traditional lands are not used as a detention facility," the tribe said in a statement.
