Overview
- On July 24, the Italian consulate confirmed the transfer of Fernando Eduardo Artese and Gaetano Cateno Mirabella Costa from the Everglades site known as Alligator Alcatraz to the ICE-run Krome facility in Miami.
- Consular diplomats secured medical assessments for both detainees and issued a temporary passport to replace an expired document recognized by Florida authorities.
- Artese faces only immigration law violations and is slated for imminent expulsion to Italy once remaining formalities are completed.
- Mirabella Costa must appear before an immigration judge to address criminal charges, a process that will delay his repatriation beyond Artese’s departure.
- Both families have loaded funds into ICE detainee accounts and sent personal effects to support travel arrangements as soon as U.S. authorities grant clearance.
