DHS evacuates detainees from Alligator Alcatraz

All detainees at Florida's "Alligator Alcatraz" migrant detention center have been transferred to other facilities amid concerns related to hurricane season.

Advocates argue the transfers are an excuse to hide the facility's issues and have raised concerns about detainee contact with legal representatives.
