On July 28, 2023, univision News reported on Congresswoman Schultz’s visit to the detention center located in the Florida Everglades, locally referred to as ‘aligator Alcatraz’.
Schultz described the conditions as akin to a “confinement field,” alleging that detainees are denied adequate access to legal counsel, face extreme heat, and lack sufficient food and medical attention. The facility, operated under contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has faced prior criticism regarding its remote location and challenging environmental conditions.
