Life inside notorious immigration centre 'Alligator Alcatraz' as it enters final days
Alligator Alcatraz, a notorious immigration detention center in Florida's Everglades known for its harsh conditions, is being shut down following a judge's orders. Families of inmates recount alarming experiences, including lack of medical care and harsh treatment inside the facility. Despite the closure, concerns remain as new temporary detention centers are being established in several Republican-led states. The future of immigration detention in the US remains uncertain as officials discuss the need for more permanent facilities.
