Days after criticism from residents, an Ohio jail tried to create its own version of Florida's "Alligator Alcatraz."

P.S. Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, a Holocaust survivor who played cello in the Auschwitz women’s orchestra, turns a hundred today. “The word ‘indomitable’ might have been invented for her,” Alex Ross wrote, after spending time with her last year. “She is perhaps the most awe-inspiring person I have ever met.” 🎻

The meeting will address a proposal for corrections officers to transport ICE detainees from the Orange County Jail to immigration facilities, including “Alligator Alcatraz” in the Everglades. Elected officials and immigration rights advocates are planning to speak about Orange County’s involvement with ICE.

Without permanent structures, electricity or running water, logistical headaches have emerged at “Alligator Alcatraz.”

Former top immigration officials from the Biden administration warned Tuesday that billions for immigration enforcement signed into law earlier this month will escalate the rapid detention and deportations of immigrants.

ICE received additional funding from President Trump's "big, beautiful bill," and Alligator Alcatraz began operating.

The state of Florida has opened a migrant detention center in the Everglades. Its official name is Alligator Alcatraz, a reference to the former maximum security federal penitentiary in San Francisco Bay.
