Florida's corrections agency and ICE updated an agreement on handling federal immigration detainees, but they did it more than a month after ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ opened. This update was made public Thursday in court documents.

The order, issued Monday, is part of a civil rights lawsuit claiming detainees' rights are being violated.

Attorneys say that the detainees are being held without any charges and that federal immigration courts have canceled bond hearings.

Kevin Guthrie, head of Florida’s Division of Emergency Management, says the case belongs in the state’s middle district, not Miami-Dade.
