US EditionDetained immigrants at ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ say there are worms in food and wastewater on the floor
OCHOPEE, FLORIDA, JUL 11 – Detainees at Florida's newly opened Alligator Alcatraz report lack of water, unsanitary meals with maggots, and infestations affecting about 400 people, raising human rights concerns.
- Alligator Alcatraz, a Florida-run immigration detention center in the Everglades, opened recently and holds about 400 detainees under challenging conditions.
- Concerns arose after detainees and attorneys reported limited food, worm-contaminated meals, no running water for five days, and restricted access to showers while officials denied these claims.
- Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and Democratic lawmakers were denied site inspections, prompting the mayor to request federal reports on deaths amid Florida's high ICE custody mortality rate.
- State spokespeople called allegations false, affirming zero deaths at Alligator Alcatraz and stating plumbing systems are operational despite multiple detainee complaints of inhumane conditions.
- Ongoing restricted access and reported poor conditions have raised transparency concerns and legal actions aimed at increasing oversight of the state-controlled detention facility.
