"Federal judge Sheri Polster Chappell ruled that officials at Florida's state-run immigration jail must provide better access to attorneys for detained clients, including unmonitored legal calls."
"Amnesty International reported that detainees at Alligator Alcatraz face inhumane conditions, including overflowing toilets, limited access to showers, and constant exposure to insects."
A federal judge mandated that Florida's immigration jail enhance attorney access for detained clients. Officials must allow confidential, unmonitored legal calls and permit unannounced attorney visits. The facility, criticized for inhumane conditions, has been under scrutiny since its opening in 2025. Reports indicate detainees face unsanitary living conditions, limited hygiene access, and inadequate food and water. The facility operates under state control, not ICE, amid Florida's aggressive immigration enforcement policies since the Trump administration began.
