Florida taxpayers may be on the hook for Alligator Alcatraz construction bill
When the DeSantis administration swiftly built Alligator Alcatraz last summer, it said the federal government would foot the bill for the state’s Everglades immigration detention camp. But the Trump administration may now be reconsidering that commitment, signaling in court that Florida taxpayers could be on the hook for the cost of the facility’s construction
In a court filing on Tuesday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, lawyers with the Department of Justice said the Federal Emergency Management Agency had not yet decided whether to reimburse the state.

Wow. Donald Trump stiffing someone on a bill? Who could have expected he would do the thing he's third most famous for?
I'm having a hard time deciding which are the first 2.
Give me a hint
Rapist, he was literally convicted. Pedophile, you've got an entire bonfire going with that one, the only reason he's not seeing jail is because he runs federal law enforcement and Republicans don't care.
Technically, he was not convicted. I hate that POS, but, it's true. Guilty, of course. However, the legalese of the situation is not "convicted".
What is the legalese?
Legal language, legal terms, etc...
I mean what is the legal term for his situation, if convicted doesn't apply?
Liable for sexual assault in a Civil court.
He was never convicted in a criminal court for any sex offense.
He was convicted, he was not sentenced.
No.
You forgot poopy pants.
Florida has no state income tax, but it does have helluva tourism tax. Don't visit Florida.
Only ppl who can visit FL safely are cishet white men anyway
And people going to conferences which are somehow almost always in Florida :(
Shouldn't have been paid for by FEMA, either.
IE the Florida GoP has stolen millions in tax payer funds...again.
