Two Mexican brothers, Carlos and Alejandro, who were detained at the Everglades migrant detention center in Florida, known as "Alligator Alcatraz," have been released and returned to Mexico. Their release was facilitated by strong consular support and a network of assistance. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed that at least 30 Mexican nationals remain detained at the Alligator Alcatraz facility, where they are receiving support from the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE). The Mexican consul in Miami, Rutilio Escandón, has visited the center to provide assistance. The detention center has been described as having inhumane conditions, with reports of hunger strikes among detainees raising concerns about their treatment. Meanwhile, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) currently holds 56,945 individuals in detention nationwide. The context includes ongoing debates over immigration enforcement policies, with some U.S. lawmakers emphasizing the strengthening of immigration controls.

Incredible that @marcorubio and Rafael @tedcruz expended all this energy embracing Cuban expats, while their admin is condemning their own people to such inhumane detention that a guy is on a 10 day hunger strike, and his wife fears he might die in custody at Alligator Alcatraz. https://t.co/4rRP089vSQ https://t.co/USJmX6q32v
