A judge appeared skeptical Monday about a lawsuit challenging the temporary detention facility in the Everglades known as "Alligator Alcatraz."

Eve Samples, executive director of Friends of the Everglades, hopes the judge rules to temporarily stop "Alligator Alcatraz" from expanding.

A hiker has been hospitalized after an alligator attacked and bit her on a Florida hiking trail, authorities say. The woman, who has not been identified, was hiking on the Bird Rookery Swamp Trail in Collier County, between Naples and Fort Myers, when the incident took place on Sunday, August 17.
