Murderers, pedophiles, weapon traffickers, and drug dealers detained in Alligator Alcatraz

WASHINGTON - Despite repeated hoaxes circulating in the media about alleged inhumane conditions and activist judges trying to close the facility, DHS continues to use the facility to house the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens. Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released names and criminal histories of some of the worst of the worst detained at Alligator Alcatraz.

"Despite repeated hoaxes peddled by the media and activist judges, Alligator Alcatraz is still open and housing some of the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens including murderers, pedophiles, weapon traffickers, and drug dealers until they are swiftly removed from our country," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "Innovative state partnerships like Alligator Alcatraz, Louisiana Lock-up, Speedway Slammer, and Cornhusker Clink are expanding detention capability to lock up criminal illegal aliens and turbo charging our efforts to get criminal illegal aliens out of our country. Fire up the deportation planes."
