Cuban reggaeton artist Leamsy La Figura, arrested last week in Miami-Dade, is now being held at the Alligator Alcatraz immigration detention facility in the Everglades.
He and other detainees claim they are enduring inhumane conditions, including lack of access to water, inadequate food and denial of religious rights.
La Figura, whose real name is Leamsy Isquierdo, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and battery. He was initially held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center (TGK) before being transferred to Alligator Alcatraz.
Alligator Auschwitz
The appropriate name for a concentration camp. Instead of showers, the camp members get to go swimming!
Alligator Auschwitz Concentration (soon to be death) Camp.
Can we please start calling this what it is. A literal concentration camp.
concentration camp
CONCENTRATION CAMP

“They’re not respecting our human rights,” one man said during the same call. “We’re human beings; we’re not dogs. We’re like rats in an experiment.”
“I don’t know their motive for doing this, if it’s a form of torture. A lot of us have our residency documents and we don’t understand why we’re here,” he added.
A third detainee, who said he is Colombian, described deteriorating mental health and lack of access to necessary medical care.
“I’m on the edge of losing my mind. I’ve gone three days without taking my medicine,” he said. “It’s impossible to sleep with this white light that’s on all day.”
He also claimed his Bible was confiscated.
“They took the Bible I had and they said here there is no right to religion. And my Bible is the one thing that keeps my faith, and now I’m losing my faith,” he said.
La Figura’s girlfriend said the couple shares a 4-year-old daughter.
Florida authorities have not responded to inhumane conditions allegations
And here I was thinking that all of the ICE facilities were inhumane.
Let’s ignore it, not like something like this has happened in the past.
Any member of the media who complies and uses this cutesy name instead of calling it a concentration camp is complicit and the enemy.
So hey, remember all those Libertarian fringe types that were like “Rararar FEMA DEATH CAMPS!! THEY’RE A’BUILDIN ‘EM!! An’ they’re gon’ stick teh poor an’ disagreein’ U.S Citizens in there! Black bag kidnappings by the government!”
…So… interesting how they’re shutting down the actually-useful FEMA but…now that they’re building literal death camps…and kidnapping U.S citizens to drop in there for inexplicable reasons…where’s all that energy? That outrage?
…Just asking…
They’re taking a break from the performance. Bad actors need vacations too!
“It’s impossible to sleep with this white light that’s on all day.”
Literal torture.
Lights that are always on are standard in USA jails & prisons
No shit.

Yeah, but, you know, we’re not like the Nazis were in their final days right now, so it’s not a big deal.
