ICE Relocates Detainees from “Alligator Alcatraz” Ahead of Hurricane Season
To ensure the safety of detainees as Florida enters peak hurricane season, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has relocated individuals from the temporary soft-sided detention facility commonly known as “Alligator Alcatraz.” This precautionary measure was taken due to concerns about potential severe weather impacts, as Florida’s hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. The agency has not yet disclosed the number of detainees transferred or their new locations.
