ICE empties ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ amid hurricane season. Activists aren’t buying it.

Federal immigration authorities claim to have moved detainees from the controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” facility due to hurricane safety concerns, but activists remain skeptical, pointing out the irony of filling the facility during last year’s hurricane season. Advocates argue that the timing is suspicious, suggesting a possible cover-up or deliberate inconsistency in their actions. This situation underscores ongoing debates about the ethics and transparency of detention practices, especially in relation to public safety and hurricane preparedness.
