The state last week began operating what has been dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” at a remote site surrounded by the Everglades and the Big Cypress National Preserve, as Gov. Ron DeSantis and other officials try to help President Donald Trump’s mass deportation of undocumented immigrants.
Friends of the Everglades and the Center for...

Back in the starting lineup for Sunday’s 103-83 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the California Classic in San Francisco, Ware closed with 12 points on 4-of-10 shooting and three rebounds in his 28 minutes at Chase Center.
While there was a spinning step-back 3-point conversion early and several quality finishes at the rim from the No. 15 pick out of Indiana in the 2024 NBA draft, it was not exactly the domination...
