"Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz' Detention Center Evacuated Amid Hurricane Fears. In a move aimed at ensuring the safety of detainees and staff, the Department of Homeland Security has transferred all inmates from the notorious detention center in the Florida Everglades to other facilities.

With its remote location and history of security concerns, the detention center has long been a source of controversy, and the transfer of detainees is likely to spark renewed debate over the treatment and housing of immigrants in the US."
