A coalition of groups, ranging from environmental activists to Native Americans advocating for their ancestral homelands, converged outside an airstrip in the Florida Everglades Saturday to protest the imminent construction of an immigrant detention center.

Florida's attorney general says the migrant detention facility is on track to open in early July, at a little-used airfield in the Everglades. Environmental activists hope they can stop the project.
