The cruelly dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” is a moral failure, an environmental threat, and a fiscal disaster.
Built in just 8 days on indigenous land without consulting local indigenous communities, in an environmentally sensitive area, vulnerable to hurricanes without a clear evacuation plan, this facility already has a reputation for abusing the immigrants being held there.
We’ve sued to make sure every person detained there can speak to their attorneys – and while our lawyers fight back in court, we’re pressuring Congress to do the right thing and block all federal funds to Florida’s notorious Everglades immigration center.
