(WSVN) - Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava has made a request to access Alligator Alcatraz.
In a post on ‘X’, she raised concerns about the environment, as well as concerns about conditions at federal immigration detention centers and the treatment of detainees.
In a letter sent to the Department of Homeland Security and Florida’s Attorney General, she wrote, in part:
“The site is further located in a remote area with poor access to hospitals and emergency services…therefore, given our land ownership of the site, we believe our request for monitoring access is warranted.”
A group of democratic state lawmakers were turned away from inspecting the site when they showed up before the Fourth of July weekend.
