Rep. Maxwell Frost Calls Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz' Internment Camp Targeting Latino and Haitian Detainees

Representative Maxwell Frost (D-FL) visited the immigration detention center known as "Alligator Alcatraz" located in the Florida Everglades. During his visit, Frost observed that the facility primarily holds Latino and Haitian men, with no Europeans who had overstayed their visas present. He described the center as an "internment camp" and accused the Trump administration of using it as part of a broader effort to ethnically cleanse the country of certain immigrant groups. Frost characterized the detention center as a "moral atrocity" and emphasized that no one with "eyes and a conscience" could ignore the nature of the facility. His comments highlight concerns about the racial and ethnic targeting of immigrants detained at this facility. Frost's statements have drawn attention to the demographic composition of detainees and the administration's immigration enforcement policies.
