"Inspector General Report: ‘Alligator Alcatraz' Was Nothing More Than An ICE Concentration Camp
(. . .)
All of that is indisputably true of this detention facility, which was very belatedly 'retired' roughly a year after its opening. While those arguing in bad faith will strive to point out the differences between Alligator Alcatraz and concentration camps run by other fascists over the years, most people will generally understand the comparison and not get hung up about the lack of gas chambers, hard labor sites, or mass graves.
This detention center was nothing more than a bunch of 'tents' (generously speaking — much of it more resembled portable car ports than actual tents) housing a bunch of metal cages. Detainees were exposed to heat, humidity, swarms of insects, and routine abuse/neglect by the people hired by ICE to 'manage' their detainment."

DHS Inspector General's office admits these tiny cages at Alligator Auschwitz for up to two hours at a time.
This is reminescent of the "tiger cages" used by the US on detainees captured in the Vietnam War.
Wondering where ICE has these cages set up now that AA is closed?

‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Used Small Cages as ‘Calming Areas,’ Report Says
The Department of Homeland Security’s internal watchdog provided new details about conditions at the now-shuttered #Florida #DetentionCenter.
By Madeleine Ngo, Hamed Aleaziz and David Ovalle, Sept. 14, 2026
Excerpt: "Federal investigators found that the metal enclosures — each providing only about 18 square feet of floor space — were used as 'calming areas,' where detainees were held for periods ranging from several minutes to nearly two hours."Although facility staff said that detainees asked to spend time in the enclosures, federal investigators found at least one instance in which the enclosures were used to discipline a detainee who 'failed to comply with a lawful command.'
" 'The use of such restrictive spaces is highly unconventional and does not align with standards for humane treatment,' the report said.
"The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The office of Gov. Ron #DeSantis of Florida also did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Neither did the Florida Division of Emergency Management, which operated the facility before it closed.
Investigators found that the facility complied with intake and use-of-force standards, but it did not comply with a variety of national detention standards related to medical care, food service, personal hygiene and recreation."Read more:

"The watchdog report marks the first time a government agency has confirmed the existence of the cramped cages at the South Florida Detention Facility. Amnesty International found in a report published in December, based on interviews with detainees and a tour of the facility, that the cages were used to punish detainees and amounted to torture, sparking a congressional probe."

Immaginate un mondo dove la #SergioBonelliEditore tira fuori il fegato e tre chili di pelo sullo stomaco e realizza una versione #Absolute di #Zagor ai giorni nostri: è un reduce tipo #Rambo e si rifugia a Darkwood, dove arriva la #ICE (che vi sta costruendo una specie di #AlligatorAlcatraz ) e si vede costretto a tornare in azione e ucciderli uno dopo l’altro, perché hanno rapito la famiglia di #Cico assieme a un’intera comunità Latina
Lo scriverei e disegnerei ORA!

Guess DeSantis squeezed all the publicity he could out of #AlligatorAlcatraz

Florida's #AlligatorAlcatraz #immigration #ConcentrationCamp has closed
“Alligator Alcatraz,” the remote #Florida immigration detention center that faced harsh criticism for its conditions, has shut down nearly a year after opening, Gov DeSantis said Thursday.
DeSantis said the center at an isolated airstrip in the #Everglades was always meant to be only temporary until more permanent detention centers could be secured & federal ofcls now have that capacity.#law #Trump

Not so good news after all. While Alligator Alcatraz is closing, the people being held there are being transferred to other facilities ...
Update from - The Workers Circle:
I’m writing this from Florida, as our team works alongside friends at Sanctuary of the South to support the Alligator Alcatraz legal counsel – but I had to take a pause to share this huge news.
In one week, our community has raised over $100,000 for the Alligator Alcatraz legal counsel.
We’re moved. When we first learned that we would need to raise $300,000 to support the more than 1,000 people that remained inside of Alligator Alcatraz, it was daunting – getting there felt like a moonshot, but failing to do so would have meant leaving the people that we’ve spent months building connections with behind…after they’ve already been failed by too many people.
You, and thousands of people like you, showed us hope in human form.
I’ve spent the weekend on the ground – talking to families, troubleshooting with attorneys, working through the logistics of getting legal representation to people who have none – so I know that reaching this goal isn’t just a milestone on paper. It means cases reviewed. It means petitions filed. It means people who were invisible to this system now having an attorney looking at their file.
This is a major milestone, but we are only part of the way there.
When Congressman Frost visited the facility this week, there were only 655 people left inside… down from 1,400 just weeks ago. They are being transferred out faster than we can reach them.
The legal counsel exists precisely to chase that: If someone is moved before we can get to them, our support follows. But we need the resources to make that possible.

“Maxwell Frost [Rep.-D-FL-10], spoke on reports that #AlligatorAlcatraz is expected to close in June … over 1,400 detainees … to be transferred. … Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis & Department of Homeland Security have not confirmed the closure or a specific date … DeSantis has mentioned several times that Alligator Alcatraz was always meant to be temporary." #deportations
