On a sweltering afternoon in the Everglades, faith and activism intersected — as the nonprofit Guatemalan Maya Center organized a Catholic mass outside Alligator Alcatraz, the remote immigration detention center.

A remote Everglades facility drew prayers, tears and outrage as families rallied for immigrants held there at a Mass led by 'Father Frank' O'Loughlin.

More than a hundred people gathered outside the Everglades Detention Center, also known as “Alligator Alcatraz,” Saturday for a milestone Mass hosted by Father Frank O’Laughlin.

This is the second lawsuit over “Alligator Alcatraz” getting a hearing in Miami this month. In recent weeks, US District Judge KATHLEEN WILLIAMS heard an environmental challenge against the facility. Williams, an Obama-era appointee, is set to deliver her verdict no later than Thursday on whether to temporarily shut down operations.

"The Church has ‘no borders' for we all are members of one human family," Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski said.

Erected on an abandoned airstrip known as the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, the temporary tent city was thrown together in just eight days after Florida authorities presented the federal government with a “marketing pitch” inspired by President Donald Trump longing for the reopening of the original Alcatraz.

Two separate lawsuits over “Alligator Alcatraz” could ensure detainees have proper access to their legal counsel or shut down operations at the controversial makeshift immigrant detention center in Florida’s swampy Everglades.

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.

U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams said Wednesday following days of testimony about the environmental impacts of the Everglades immigration detention camp that she plans to rule no later than Aug. 21 on a request to temporarily shut it down.

Alligator Alcatraz came to life in June after Florida's attorney general announced on social media that a detention center would be built in Collier.
