U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams issued a two-week restraining order to stop further work on the 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention center near the Everglades after environmental groups and the Miccosukee Tribe said state and federal officials skipped an environmental study — halting construction until the lawsuit proceeds.

Former FSU baseball star Cal Raleigh—catcher for the Seattle Mariners—leads MLB with 42 home runs through 113 games as his power has cooled since his Home Run Derby win on July 15, though he still chases records like Aaron Judge's 62 mark.
