Overview

• Mexico's foreign minister said consular teams have interviewed 198 Mexican nationals who passed through the Everglades detention center.
• Most interviewees are no longer at the site due to transfers or voluntary returns under the México Te Abraza program.
• The SRE is launching six support programs funded by a $6.31 million lottery windfall, including bail assistance, added consular staffing and visits to remote detention centers.
• A judge previously ordered the facility’s closure after abuse complaints, but appeals and ongoing transfers have left operations and oversight in flux.
• Rights groups and the Miami Herald reported hundreds of detainees tied to the center not appearing in ICE’s public locator, while DHS says custody numbers shift with transfers and removals.
