US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is moving detainees out of the “Alligator Alcatraz” soft-sided detention facility in Florida’s Everglades, according to multiple reports. CBS News says an ICE spokesperson links the transfers to safety concerns related to hurricane season. Mint reports that ICE transfers detainees to other locations as the facility is likely to be shut down. The Guardian adds that ICE officials do not specify how many people have been moved or where they are being relocated. The detention center, which has been widely criticized since opening last year, is located in a remote area and has faced scrutiny over conditions. It has also been discussed publicly in connection with expectations that the facility would close. Across the sources, the central points are that ICE initiates relocations from the “Alligator Alcatraz” site, that the agency cites safety and/or closure-related reasons, and that details such as detainee counts and destinations are not provided in the reporting.
