A top Florida official said the state-run immigration detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz” will likely be empty within a few days after all detainees are deported or transferred to other facilities, according to an email shared with the Associated Press.
“We are probably going to be down to 0 individuals within a few days,” Florida Division of Emergency Management Executive Director Kevin Guthrie wrote in an Aug. 22 email to South Florida Rabbi Mario Rojzman. The message was related to an inquiry about providing religious programming at the Everglades facility, the Associated Press reported on Wednesday.
The Washington Examiner contacted the Florida agency, which runs Alligator Alcatraz in collaboration with the Department of Homeland Security, for comment.
