Advocates and detainees warn about conditions at ‘Alligator Alcatraz’

by

Protesters gather to demand the closure of the immigrant detention center known as "Alligator Alcatraz" at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport in Ochopee, Fla., on July 22. Immigrants held at U.S. detention centers have experienced abusive and degrading treatment, a Human Rights Watch report said on July 21.

Civil rights lawyers say many migrant detainees in Florida's "Alligator Alcatraz" are being barred from meeting regularly with attorneys and are being held in dangerous conditions.
