The lawsuit says attorneys have been repeatedly turned away from the detention camp and had virtual meetings mysteriously canceled.

Migrant detainees being held in Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” have claimed conditions at the detention center are “grim,” citing how they’ve been fed “cold ham sandwiches,” according to The Washington Post.

But data and news reports about the first month’s arrivals show the majority of Alligator Alcatraz’s detainees do not have U.S. criminal convictions.  President Donald Trump, federal officials and Florida Republicans touted the remote Everglades immigration detention centers — dubbed Alligator Alcatraz — as a place to detain people deemed the "worst of the worst.

Florida’s Alligator Alcatraz flooded almost immediately and conditions at the detention center aren’t improving. Guards and detainees alike report a lack of clean water, swarming mosquitos, rainwater leaks, and other “inhumane” conditions.

The ACLU, ACLU of Florida and Americans for Immigrant Justice are working with detainees and other groups representing them, including Florida Keys Immigration, Sanctuary of the South, U.S. Immigration Law Counsel, Victoria Slatton of Sanabria & Associates, and the Law Offices of Catherine Perez, PLLC.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration left many local officials in the dark about the immigration detention center that rose from an isolated airstrip in the Everglades.

ICE detention standards are difficult to enforce because they aren’t written into law. Rather than follow a uniform standard, detention centers operate under a patchwork of different standards.
