    "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."

    For around 15 hours, immigration detention officers kept Raúl Suárez Herrero confined in a cage slightly larger than a phone booth, where he feared snakes and endured mosquitoes in the middle of Florida swampland, the former detainee alleged. Suárez, 59, said in an interview that he was forced into the cage after praying out loud for an ill young man at "Alligator Alcatraz," an ICE detention site. "I feel like I was in hell," Suárez later...

  30. ‘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."
