Overview

  • Governor Ron DeSantis announced that two to three DHS-operated flights have already removed hundreds of undocumented migrants from Alligator Alcatraz.
  • Argentina is working with Italy to press for the release of Fernando Artese, a dual Argentine-Italian national detained after a visa overstay.
  • The Mexican consulate in Miami visits 14 detainees daily and has found no evidence of overcrowding or communication barriers.
  • Reports describe detainees confined in cells of up to 32 people without sunlight, with minimal rations and unisolated COVID-19 cases.
  • The center was erected in under two weeks on a remote Everglades airstrip and leverages surrounding swamp and wildlife as barriers under a Trump-DeSantis immigration strategy.
