Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has confirmed that 30 Mexican nationals are currently detained at the Alligator Alcatraz migrant detention center in Florida, a facility known for its harsh conditions. Initially, reports indicated that 14 Mexicans were held there, but recent statements have updated the number to 30. The Mexican government has formally requested the immediate repatriation of these detainees through a diplomatic note sent to the United States. Mexican consular officials, including Rutilio Escandón, the consul in Miami, have visited the detainees to provide assistance. The Mexican government is also reviewing potential human rights violations related to the treatment of these migrants at the facility.
