Federal Judge Orders Improvements at Florida Immigration Detention Center
A federal judge in Florida has mandated changes at a state-run immigration detention center, known as Alligator Alcatraz, to enhance detainees access to their lawyers. The ruling requires timely, free, confidential legal calls, at least one working phone per twenty-five detainees, and shared key information in multiple languages. Attorneys had complained about unreliable phone access and blocked visits, leading to missed deadlines and a lawsuit. State officials deny limiting access, citing security and staffing issues. The injunction aims to address these access gaps immediately, as the legal battle over lawyer communications continues.
