The Florida Supreme Court has transferred a lawsuit filed by Democratic state legislators challenging the handling of "Alligator Alcatraz" to a lower court. The court clarified that this transfer should not be interpreted as a ruling on the merits of the case. The lawsuit, represented by attorneys and lawmakers Ashley V. Gantt, LaVon Bracy Davis, and Michele K. Rayner, alleges that a state agency unlawfully blocked their unannounced inspection of the Alligator Alcatraz facility. Separately, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Florida has dropped a lawsuit following Governor Ron DeSantis's appointment to a judicial vacancy in Tallahassee. Additionally, Florida has filed a quick appeal concerning a ruling on ballot restrictions. The developments come amid ongoing political and legal debates in the state.
