Show Notes
Two Democratic senators, Jon Ossoff and Richard Durbin, have launched an investigation into the Everglades detention center, known as Alligator Alcatraz, due to allegations of torture. The senators have sent a letter to the new Homeland Security Secretary and ICEs acting director, demanding the immediate halt of the box, a small cage where detainees report being shackled in stress positions for hours in direct sun with no food or water. Human rights groups have labeled this treatment as torture, violating U.S. and global laws. The senators also seek answers on the facilitys management and compliance with standards. Lawsuits and legal battles are ongoing, with pressure mounting for oversight or a full shutdown.
