Stop the Lies About Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz”

Right-wing outlets framed Florida’s new Everglades migrant facility as housing only the “worst of the worst” criminals — but over 250 detainees have no criminal record, and many are asylum-seekers or charged with minor offenses like traffic violations.

Even more disturbing: commentators celebrated the idea of migrants being “eaten by the gators” and traffickers spun false claims to stoke fear — while the real crisis is dire: accusations of worms in food, flooding toilets, lack of medical access, and legal representation blocked.

Add your name to demand honest reporting. Right‑wing media must stop dehumanizing immigrants with fearmongering myths and stand for truth — not scare tactics — when covering this crisis.
