“短吻鳄恶魔岛”将被拘留者关进标有“镇静区”的金属笼,监督机构调查发现


2026-09-14T15:21:40.345Z / 美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)

据联邦监督机构的一份报告显示,在被称为“短吻鳄恶魔岛”的佛罗里达州临时拘留中心,近80名移民被拘留者曾被短暂关押在小型金属围栏内,“关押时长从数分钟到近2小时不等”。

美国国土安全部监察长办公室于今年1月视察了这座现已关闭的设施,其在报告中称,将被拘留者关押在室内围栏——每个围栏占地面积约18平方英尺——的做法“与监察长团队在移民海关执法局(ICE)设施中见过的任何情况都截然不同”。

报告称:“使用这种限制性空间极不符合常规,也不符合人道待遇标准。”

这份长达34页的报告揭露了“短吻鳄恶魔岛”令人不安的运营状况。该设施曾在特朗普政府的移民打击行动中被用于拘留移民,曾得到佛罗里达州和国土安全部官员的吹捧。唐纳德·特朗普总统去年夏天也曾参观过该设施。佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯表示,该设施本就是临时设置的,并于6月中旬停止运营。

该拘留中心距离特朗普位于迈阿密海滩的度假村以西不到50英里,由佛罗里达州于2025年夏季启用,仓促搭建在戴德-科利尔训练和过渡机场的跑道上。该设施启用后立即遭到民主党议员、移民权利组织、环保人士以及该设施周边土地所属的部落团体的强烈反对。

去年参观过该设施的民主党人士称,数百名移民被关在笼舍中,饱受酷暑、虫害和微薄餐食的折磨。尽管被拘留者的家属也表达了担忧,但美国移民海关执法局官员仍为该设施辩护,称其拘留标准高于美国许多监狱。

据监察长报告(最先由NBC新闻报道)显示,目前尚不清楚佛罗里达州在该设施关押移民时采用了何种拘留标准。报告称,国土安全部表示,是该州而非国土安全部负责该设施的日常运营,同时指出,关押移民海关执法局被拘留者的设施必须符合移民海关执法局的拘留标准。

调查人员发现,该设施符合收容和使用武力的标准,但在医疗服务、餐饮服务和个人卫生等一系列其他标准上存在不合规之处。

美国有线电视新闻网已联系国土安全部和佛罗里达州应急管理部门置评。

报告发现,被拘留者被关押在拥挤的环境中,大部分时间都在没有窗户的住房单元内度过。2025年7月17日至2026年1月18日期间,共有79名被拘留者被关押在小型金属围栏内。

报告称:“无论出于何种原因使用这些小型金属围栏,都是监察长团队视察过的拘留设施前所未有的情况,会给被拘留者的健康和安全带来重大风险。”

报告中包含了今年1月视察时拍摄的特殊管理单元内的金属围栏住房照片。调查人员还在户外休闲区发现了至少两个类似笼子的小型金属围栏。报告称,这些围栏尺寸约为4英尺3英寸×4英尺3英寸,高7英尺9英寸。

设施工作人员将其称为被拘留者用来平复情绪的“镇静区”,并称被拘留者曾主动要求在围栏内停留。监察长团队发现“至少有一例小型金属围栏被用作惩戒工具的情况”,报告称。

调查人员发现,被关押在金属围栏内的平均时长接近一小时。

住房单元也存在拥挤问题,被拘留者的大部分时间都在此度过。根据该设施1月底提供的人口数据,报告中列出的8个住房单元每个容纳22至31人,超过了每名被拘留者75平方英尺的强制标准。

根据报告,调查人员还检查了设施区域,收集并分析了“与住房条件、使用武力、餐饮服务和医疗护理相关的文件”,同时采访了设施工作人员和被拘留者。

在对被拘留者的采访中,调查人员得知他们无法获得干净的饮用水,且每周只能洗三次澡。调查小组发现,该设施的淋浴间也滋生了小虫子。

监察长提出的建议包括停止使用小型金属围栏关押被拘留者、提供干净的饮用水和水杯等,由于该设施已停止运营,这些建议均已结案。

不过,在一份管理层回应中,国土安全部表示,其并未与佛罗里达州签订管理拘留空间的合同,该州拥有日常运营的管理权,报告称。

‘Alligator Alcatraz’ put detainees in metal cages labeled ‘calming areas,’ watchdog finds

2026-09-14T15:21:40.345Z / CNN

Nearly 80 immigrant detainees who were held at Florida’s makeshift detention center, known as Alligator Alcatraz, were briefly held in small metal enclosures for “periods ranging from several minutes to nearly 2 hours,” according to a federal watchdog report

The Department of Homeland Security inspector general, which visited the now-shuttered facility in January, said in its report that the practice of holding detainees in the indoor enclosures — with about 18 square feet of floor space — was “unlike any OIG team has observed in ICE facilities.”

“The use of such restrictive spaces is highly unconventional and does not align with standards for humane treatment,” the report says.

The 34-page report reveals disturbing conditions at Alligator Alcatraz, which was used to detain immigrants amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and touted by Florida and Homeland Security officials. President Donald Trump also visited the facility last summer. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said the facility was meant to be temporary and it ceased operations in mid-June.

Less than 50 miles west of Trump’s Miami Beach resort, the detention center was opened by the state in summer 2025 after being speedily erected on the runway of the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport. It invited immediate backlash from Democratic lawmakers, immigrant rights groups, environmentalists, and tribal groups whose lands flank the facility.

Democrats who visited the facility last year described hundreds of migrants confined in cages and subjected to sweltering heat, bug infestations, and meager meals. Though detainees’ families have also expressed alarm, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have defended the facility as offering higher detention standards than many US prisons.

According to the inspector general report, which was first reported by NBC News, it was unclear which detention standards Florida was using to hold immigrants at the facility. DHS said the state, not the department, maintained authority over the facility’s daily operations, the report says, later noting that facilities that house ICE detainees must comply with ICE detention standards.

Inspectors found the facility complied with intake and use-of-force standards, but not with a series of other standards related to medical service, food service, and personal hygiene, among others.

CNN has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security and Florida Division of Emergency Management for comment.

The report found that detainees were held in cramped conditions, spending most of their days in windowless housing units, and that between July 17, 2025, and January 18, 2026, 79 detainees were confined in small metal enclosures.

“Use of these small metal enclosures for any reason is unprecedented among detention facilities OIG has inspected and presents significant risks to detainee health and safety,” the report says.

The report includes photos of the metal housing enclosures inside the Special Management Units that were observed in January. Inspectors also observed at least two small metal enclosures in the outdoor recreation areas akin to cages. They measured approximately 4 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 3 inches and 7 feet 9 inches tall, the report says.

Facility staff described them as “calming areas” for detainees to de-escalate and said detainees asked to spend time in the enclosures. The inspector general’s team found “at least one instance in which the small metal enclosures may have been used as a disciplinary tool,” the report says.

The average time spent in a metal enclosure was just under an hour, the inspectors found.

There were also crowded conditions in housing units, where detainees spent most of their time. The eight housing units listed by the inspector general report held between 22 to 31 individuals each, according to population data provided by the facility in late January, above what would be the required standard of 75 square feet per detainee.

The inspectors also examined facility areas, collected and analyzed documentation “related to housing conditions, use of force, food service, and medical care,” as well as interviewed facility staff and detainees, according to the report.

In interviews with detainees, inspectors were told that they did not have access to clean drinking water and showered three times a week. The facility’s showers were also infested with small bugs, the inspection team found.

The inspector general’s recommendations — ranging from discontinuing the use of small metal enclosures to hold detainees and providing access to clean drinking water and cups — were closed as a result of the facility ceasing operations.

In a management response, however, DHS said it didn’t have a contract with Florida to manage detention space and the state maintained authority of daily operations, the report states.
