Families and Immigrant Detainees Speak Out Against 'Alligator Alcatraz'

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava has recently brought attention to the conditions at the detention site nicknamed 'Alligator Alcatraz'. Families and immigrant detainees have alleged 'horrible' conditions, including overcrowding, lack of access to fresh air and sunlight, and inadequate medical care. The detention site, built on county land, has raised concerns about the treatment of detainees and their access to basic human rights. As a result, Mayor Levine Cava has requested access and monitoring of the site from Florida's attorney general. This move highlights the urgent need for transparency and accountability in the treatment of immigrant detainees.
