US EditionDemocrats Condemn Conditions at Everglades Immigration Center After Tour
OCHOPEE, FLORIDA, JUL 14 – Florida lawmakers remain divided over overcrowding and hygiene at a detention center holding about 900 migrants in the Everglades, with officials denying allegations of poor conditions.
- On July 2, 2025, Florida began operating a state-managed immigrant detention facility called Alligator Alcatraz, situated near a secluded airstrip in the Everglades region.
- The center was rapidly built on 39 square miles of seized Everglades land under claimed emergency powers despite concerns about environmental harm to the Big Cypress area, which is sacred to the Miccosukee and Seminole tribes.
- Democratic lawmakers toured the facility on July 12, describing it as overcrowded, unsanitary, and lacking detainee access, with temperatures measured between 83 and 85 degrees and conditions including bugs on mattresses and poor privacy.
- Republican officials like Sen. Blaise Ingoglia and State Sen. Jay Collins countered that the center is clean, well-run, meets all required standards, and features comfortable beds and working air conditioning.
- The facility houses thousands of detainees, faces lawsuits after lawmakers were denied visits, and raises environmental and human rights concerns amid efforts to expand migrant detention capacity.
