DHS disputes dire conditions at Alligator Alcatraz

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is denying reports of improper living conditions for detainees at Alligator Alcatraz after reports of a hospitalization surfaced.

Reports this week have claimed that the detainees at the detention facility in the Florida Everglades are surrounded by toilets that don't flush, temperatures ranging from freezing to sweltering, little to no access to showers, less confidential calls with an attorney, and even a hospitalization, according to the Miami Herald.

However, DHS took to X to debunk those claims, stating that the detainees are properly cared for.
