Broward Rally Calls for Immigration Reform, Protests Detention Center Known as ‘Alligator Alcatraz’
- A coalition of immigration rights groups and officials held a rally on Saturday in Pompano Beach to protest the Alligator Alcatraz detention center in the Florida Everglades.
- The detention center was rapidly constructed using a 2023 emergency declaration by Governor Ron DeSantis that also expropriated land from Miami-Dade County amid environmental bypass claims.
- Alligator Alcatraz, designed to detain up to 3,000 individuals initially with potential expansion to 5,000, faces criticism for inhumane conditions, harsh environment, and impact on the fragile Everglades ecosystem.
- Demonstrators, including State Rep. Dotie Joseph, urged persistence against deportation policies and called for expanded protections, while Trump claimed FEMA funds built the camp but DOJ denied federal funding involvement.
- The rally and ongoing lawsuits reflect deep opposition to the center’s construction and operations, signaling potential legal challenges and continued activism around immigration and environmental concerns.
