Much of US President Donald Trump's controversial "Alligator Alcatraz" migrant detention centre in Florida must be dismantled, and no more migrants should be taken there, a judge has ruled.

The ruling stated that the facility was causing severe environmental damage to the Florida Everglades - a Unesco World Heritage Site - and gave the Trump administration 60 days to wind down its operations.
