Description
As executive director of Friends of the Everglades, Eve Samples is following in the footsteps of one of the state's most revered conservationists - Marjory Stoneman Douglas - in more ways than one. The onetime journo joins Dara in this week's Deeper Dive to delve into a lawsuit challenging an immigrant detention center in the Everglades. Dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" by Gov. Ron DeSantis, the facility is located on the very spot that spawned Friends of the Everglades and a federal law that's at the heart of the legal challenge. Eve tells Dara about the endangered species that can be found in or near the detention facility and the center's impact on their habitat. Join Dara and Eve for a timely conversation about the hottest topic in Florida news this week. Plus, Crocs!
