Dozens gathered at a protest and press conference outside Alligator Alcatraz on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, to denounce the poor health conditions at the controversial immigration detention center in the Everglades.
The "dangerous and unlawful conditions" inside the center pose serious health implications for hundreds of detainees, says a group of health professionals and immigrant advocates.

"Dangerous and unlawful conditions" inside the state-managed immigration detention camp in the Everglades pose serious health implications for hundreds of detainees, says a group of health professionals, immigrant advocates and family members of those being held.

"This isn't a detention facility — it's a public health experiment gone horribly wrong," said Sebastian Caicedo, Miami-Dade regional director at Florida Rising. "People are being exposed to viruses, sewage, and extreme trauma. It's state-sponsored cruelty, and it has to stop."

Caicedo was among several medical professionals who appeared at a protest and press conference Tuesday morning outside the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, the site of the detention center Gov. Ron DeSantis and other state officials call "Alligator Alcatraz."

I don't see anything which indicates this guy is a "health professional."  People are exposed to viruses, sewage, and trauma every day, especially in places like Mejico.  The pictures I've seen of the place don't look significantly different than military barracks I've stayed in, especially transit barracks.

Check out the site and you'll immediately see the "professionals" may not be so much and the organization is a rent-a-protestor sort of outfit. :thud:

Allowing criminal illegals to roam free in society poses a health issue for me.

Then send them home or to El Salvador ... just get 'em out of the country so they are no longer our problem.

''Alligator Alcatraz' poses health issues for detainees', then we should use them for 'testing' to see if the concerns are borne out.

I daresay there were more health issues when they made their migrant trip to USA.

Why are we at all concerned with their health anyway?  It is not our responsibility any more than for a bushman squatting in his hut in Botswana

More of a hazard to the Gators.  The animal rights groups should be all over this.

Finish deporting them.  Problem solved.

That's a shame. Don't care.

Hey Americans in San Diego are constantly exposed to sewage….from Mexico, so why isn’t this turd and the rest of the “medical professionals”(like dental hygienists or maybe the guy that collects the dirty linen in a hospital?) bitching about that and demanding Mexico stop it?

The feces-filled streets of San Francisco probably present a greater risk to human health than this detention center.

Highly doubtful that DeSantis is going to risk his political career over detaining ILLEGALS in am unhealthy environment.

It's Florida.  One has to get used to the humidity.  Humidity is high indoors even with air conditioning.  From my understanding Alcatraz is air conditioned. I doubt they are going to get gourmet meals, wine or caviar, but my hunch is the conditions are humane.  Alcatraz is near swamp land.  Sure gators and boas are lurking around, but that is an incentive for the ILLEGALS to stay put.

I can't believe they're actually complaining about heat and humidity. In Florida. In the summertime.

Send them to San Francisco, where they will be exposed to viruses, sewage, and trauma everyday...

They are transit barracks, if the d@mn judges will quit playing games.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
