ICE Detains 79-Year-Old Florida Grandfather On Decades-Old Deportation Order, Moved From 'Alligator Alcatraz' To Krome

ICE detained 79-year-old Paul John Bojerski—who came to the U.S. as a child refugee—on a decades-old deportation order, initially holding him at Florida’s remote 'Alligator Alcatraz' before transferring him to Krome Detention Center. His family and attorney allege medical neglect, deteriorating health, and poor conditions during custody; a bond hearing is set for Nov. 18. The case reflects a broader enforcement push targeting long-term residents with longstanding orders and ongoing concerns about detentions and transfers tied to the Everglades facility.
