US EditionHuman Rights Violations Found at ‘Alligator Alcatraz’
- On Thursday, Amnesty International released a report alleging human rights violations amounting to torture and enforced disappearances at Krome North Service Processing Center and Alligator Alcatraz, based on a September 2025 research mission by Amnesty researchers.
- Policy shifts and emergency powers in Florida led to the state greatly expanding detention, with over 50% increase since January 2025 and $360 million in no-bid contracts for Alligator Alcatraz.
- Detainees described unsanitary conditions, including overflowing toilets, maggot-infested food, `stadium lights` on 24/7, and medical neglect like a 37-day wait, with one saying, `It's a disaster if you want to see the doctor`.
- Amnesty will send the report to U.S. Congress and the United Nations later this week, demanding independent investigations while Florida governor's office and Department of Homeland Security denied wrongdoing and called the report fabrications.
- Four people—Ramesh Amechand, Genry Ruiz Guillen, Maksym Chernyak, and Isidro Pérez—have died this year at Krome, while nearly 1,000 men at Alligator Alcatraz vanished from ICE records.
