DHS Inspectors Report Immigrants Held in Outdoor Cages at Florida Detention Site
Investigators found the facility, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz," failed to meet basic standards for hygiene, medical care, food and safety, according to BBC News.
Investigators from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have found that immigrants held at a Florida detention facility known as "Alligator Alcatraz" were kept in small outdoor cages, according to a report cited by BBC News.
The inspectors concluded that the facility violated basic standards in several areas, including hygiene, medical care, food provision and overall safety, BBC News reported.
The findings raise questions about the conditions faced by detainees at the site, though further details on the scope of the inspection, the number of people affected, and any response from facility operators or DHS officials were not included in the available reporting.
BBC News did not specify what actions, if any, DHS plans to take in response to the inspectors' findings, or whether the facility will face penalties or operational changes as a result of the report.
