The prison, inaugurated by Trump and built in a remote area of the Florida Everglades, already houses hundreds of Cuban migrants detained after crossing the southern US border.
Although many thought "Alligator Alcatraz" was a nickname or an operational name, its use has become increasingly official. The new detention center has begun receiving migrants, mostly Cubans with I-220A forms, seeking asylum or humanitarian protection.
The facility can accommodate more than 700 people and, according to documents obtained by Miami Herald, this figure has already been reached or is about to be reached with new transfers underway.
List of detainees or those about to be transferred
A list of detainees and people scheduled to be sent to Alligator Alcatraz is circulating among lawyers and immigration organizations. The full list, which was obtained by Cuban Newspaper, can be consulted through a link provided by the publication.
Those with family members detained under immigration proceedings can check to see if their loved one is already in this remote facility.
pricecupaction due to isolation and conditions
The center's location, surrounded by swamps and far from urban areas, has raised concerns among activists and families. The government has not provided details on the exact conditions of detention, although it has stated that basic care is provided.
The lack of access to direct information, coupled with the remoteness of the location, has made contact with lawyers and loved ones difficult, leaving many Cuban families in emotional limbo.
One more step in the immigration process
Immigration officials in the United States insist that this is a temporary center within the immigration judicial process. However, the lack of defined timeframes and the growing number of Cubans detained under this system raise fears of prolonged stays without legal clarity.
The Cuban community in Florida is closely monitoring this situation, seeking answers about the future of those who have already been sent to Alligator Alcatraz or are at risk of being transferred.

I have a nephew who is in this country illegally and his name is Erick Javier Zori or
Sori, he's involved in a business that isn't very clean and is completely illegal. They should take him to the crocodile prison in Florida.
I have a brother named Adriano Ramón Aguiar, and he is a criminal in this country. They should really find him and put him in Alcatraz, because he has a very important criminal record in this country.
Those same number of people, and even more, voted for their president. Now that he's implementing what he promised, it's no surprise.
