华盛顿5月12日路透电 —— 《纽约时报》周二援引一名联邦官员和三名熟悉该拘留中心运营情况的人士的话报道称，佛罗里达州打算关闭这座备受争议的联邦移民拘留中心“鳄鱼恶魔岛”。
据该报道称，官员们在周二下午通知供应商，该拘留中心将关闭，被拘留者需在6月初之前转移。报道援引消息人士的话称，这座造价约2.5亿美元建成的设施将在接下来几周内被拆除。

佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯的办公室未立即回应置评请求。
美国国土安全部（DHS）的一名发言人在被问及《纽约时报》的报道时表示，该部门仍在评估拘留需求和要求，以确保其符合最新的运营标准。
“任何声称国土安全部向该州施压要求停止‘鳄鱼恶魔岛’运营的报道都是虚假的，”该发言人说道。
根据移民海关执法局（ICE）的统计数据，从2025年10月1日到今年4月初，该拘留中心平均关押约1400名被拘留者。维权人士批评该中心的拘留条件，称其24小时亮着强光、被拘留者被拒绝获取药物，且该中心地处偏远，难以聘请法律顾问。

该拘留中心是在前国土安全部长克里斯蒂·诺姆任期内开放的，位于迈阿密以西37英里（约60公里）的广阔亚热带湿地中，这片湿地是短吻鳄、鳄鱼和蟒蛇的栖息地——白宫曾利用这一景象展示其遣返移民的决心。
在美国佛罗里达州拥有一处宅邸的美国总统唐纳德·特朗普，十年来一直将激进的移民和边境政策作为其政治议程的核心。

WASHINGTON, May 12 (Reuters) – Florida intends to shut down the controversial federal migrant detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz”, the New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing a federal official and three people familiar with the facility’s operations.
According to the report, vendors were told by officials on Tuesday afternoon that the facility was closing and that detainees would be moved by the start of June. The facility, which cost about $250 million to build, would be broken down over the following weeks, according to the sources cited in the report.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A spokesperson for DHS, asked about the New York Times report, said the agency continues to evaluate detention needs and requirements to ensure they meet the latest operational requirements.
“Any reports that DHS is pressuring the state to cease operations at Alligator Alcatraz are false,” the spokesperson said.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement had held an average of about 1,400 detainees at the facility from October 1, 2025, through early April of this year, according to statistics from the agency. Advocates criticized the conditions in the facility, saying bright lights remained on 24 hours a day, detainees were denied medicine, and the remote location made it challenging to obtain legal counsel.

The facility was opened under former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s tenure and is located 37 miles (60 km) west of Miami in a vast subtropical wetland that is home to alligators, crocodiles and pythons – imagery that the White House leveraged to show its determination to remove migrants.
U.S. President Donald Trump, who has a home in Florida, has for a decade made aggressive immigration and border policies central to his political agenda.
