An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Alligator Alcatraz

3 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The construction of inhumane migrant detention facilities like "Alligator Alcatraz" in the Florida Everglades is deeply concerning. These profit-driven private prisons prioritize cost-cutting over human rights and dignity. The remote and hazardous location surrounded by dangerous wildlife is intended as a deterrent, disregarding the basic needs and safety of detainees. This approach violates ethical principles and perpetuates the dehumanization of migrants. Furthermore, building on protected lands risks irreversible environmental damage and disregards Indigenous rights. We urge you to reject this inhumane system, close these facilities, and pursue comprehensive immigration reform that upholds human rights, due process, and compassionate solutions. Profiting from the suffering of vulnerable populations is unacceptable. We call on you to take immediate action to address this grave injustice and uphold the values of human dignity, environmental protection, and a just immigration system.
