Alligator Alcatraz: A Crisis in the Everglades

The provided sources discuss "Alligator Alcatraz," a controversial immigration detention facility rapidly constructed in the Florida Everglades in 2025 as part of an intensified mass deportation agenda. This makeshift compound, built using disaster relief logistics, is designed to accelerate deportations by centralizing all stages of the process in an isolated, environmentally sensitive location. Critics argue it represents a profound crisis of human rights and legal principles, citing the use of emergency powers to bypass environmental reviews, the alleged repurposing of humanitarian funds for punitive detention, and a "federal-state shell game" to evade accountability. The facility's conditions are condemned as inhumane, and its existence raises concerns about the desecration of Indigenous lands and a deliberate strategy to operate outside normal legal and ethical bounds, leading to ongoing legal challenges and advocacy efforts for its closure.
