Barbara Lagoa’s husband, Paul Huck, is an attorney whose law firm has business with the Florida government
An appeals court judge who blocked the closure of Ron DeSantis’s controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration jail is married to a powerful conservative attorney whose law firm has raked in millions of dollars from the Republican Florida governor’s administration, it has been revealed.
Barbara Lagoa authored the 11th circuit court of appeal’s 2-1 ruling last month that paused the Miami district judge Kathleen Williams’s earlier order that the harsh detention facility in the Florida Everglades must be wound down within 60 days.
Alligator Alcatraz is now fully operational again, with the Miami Herald reporting this month that hundreds of detainees held there by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (Ice) had “dropped off the grid”.
So. Much. Corruption.
Given the scale of the problem, one could certainly speak of organized crime, which makes the US a banana republic—I think that sums it up.
