Florida's Hidden Detention Camp: What You Need to Know

Many people think the Alligator Alcatraz detention camp in Florida is closed. It's not. This place has been running since July 2025, despite legal challenges. A judge ordered it to shut down in August 2025 because it didn't do the right environmental checks. But an appeals court blocked that decision, so it's still open. There are more lawsuits about how people inside are treated, but nothing has changed yet. You can help. Spread the word that this camp is still operating. Join the weekly Sunday prayer vigils at 4 p. m. outside the camp. Families of detainees will be there, sharing what's happening inside. It's been going on for 20 weeks. Sign up online or take a free bus from Fort Myers or Naples. It's a way to show you care and want change. Meanwhile, the government has declassified some professions. This means students can't get federal loans for careers like nursing, teaching, or engineering. These are important jobs. Without loans, how can people afford college? It's making the American Dream harder to reach. Think about who makes these decisions and how they affect your future. Florida lawmakers are also talking about redrawing voting districts. Critics say this is unfair and just helps one political party. Voters have said they want fair districts. Call your representatives and tell them no to mid-decade redistricting. There's also talk about a military strike in the Caribbean. Some lawmakers saw the video, but they can't agree on what happened. Release the full video so everyone can decide for themselves. And don't forget about the environment. There are too many pythons in Florida. Maybe focus on hunting them instead of bears.
