Families of Italian Nationals Held in US Detention Plead for Release, Decry Cruel Conditions
Two Italian nationals are currently being held at the controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” ICE detention center in Florida due to immigration violations, confirmed by Italy’s foreign ministry. The facility is being criticized for its conditions, with detainees reporting inhumane treatment and limited access to legal counsel. While the Italian government has not publicly addressed the situation, opposition figures are calling for intervention. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security confirmed the detentions, stating both men overstayed their visas and have criminal histories.
