Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz When I conducted a surprise inspection of Alligator Alcatraz, I asked about "The Box," ICE's inhumane punishment device. They lied to my face and said it didn't exist. We must keep the pressure on to overhaul ICE and end the cruelty.
Friends of the Everglades Another panther death brings the 2026 total to 12. A 6-year-old male was killed by a vehicle strike on SR 29 in Collier County on Sept. 29. "Alligator Alcatraz" is gone, but the site is still prime panther habitat. Every acre matters. #floridapanther #everglades #florida #alligatoralcatraz
