Immigration attorneys report that client meetings at the South Florida detention site dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” occurred in a guarded tent and may have been monitored, raising attorney–client privilege concerns. Newly filed federal documents say ICE’s role has been limited to tours while Florida controls detention decisions. The scrutiny comes as a federal judge temporarily halted construction for 14 days amid environmental and civil-rights lawsuits and ongoing protests.
