People held at the brand new Florida immigration detention center that officials have dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” say worms turn up in the food, toilets don’t flush and floors flood with fecal waste.
Hundreds of immigrants with no criminal charges in the United States have ended up at Alligator Alcatraz, a detention facility that state and federal officials have characterized as a place where “vicious” and “deranged psychopaths” are sent before they get deported, records obtained by the Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times show.
The mocking of immigrant detainees harks back to “the worst parts of our history” when similar jokes and tropes, such as “gator bait,” were used to dehumanize Black people and desensitize people to the harm and violence inflicted upon them, says ACLU Florida Executive Director Bacardi Jackson.
