Husband of judge who blocked ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ shutdown has ties to DeSantis

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.
