Shut Down “Alligator Alcatraz” – Stop Florida’s Inhumane Immigrant Detention


Shut Down “Alligator Alcatraz” – Stop Florida’s Inhumane Immigrant Detention
The Issue
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is reportedly using a secretive immigrant detention facility deep in the Everglades — known as “Alligator Alcatraz.” This site is hidden, isolated, and extremely difficult for families, legal advocates, and human rights groups to access. It’s being used to detain immigrants under harsh and inhumane conditions, far away from public oversight.
This is not justice — this is cruelty.
Immigrants are not criminals. Many are fleeing violence, poverty, and threats to their lives. They come here seeking safety and a better future. Locking them in remote swamp facilities with limited access to support or legal help is a violation of basic human rights.
This petition demands:
The immediate shutdown of “Alligator Alcatraz” and any secret or isolated immigrant detention centers in Florida.
An investigation into the conditions and practices at these facilities.
Humane, legal, and transparent treatment of all immigrants in accordance with U.S. and international law.
An end to extremist anti-immigrant policies that put lives in danger.
Silence is complicity. Sign this petition to stand for dignity, justice, and human rights.
