Miami Herald: Two-Thirds of Immigrants Held at "Alligator Alcatraz" in July Have Disappeared
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In immigration news, hundreds of people who were once detained at the
troubled immigration jail in the Florida Everglades dubbed "Alligator
Alcatraz" have disappeared. The Miami Herald reports about two-thirds of
the 1,800 immigrants who were held there in July have gone missing from
ICE's online database, with their families unable to locate them.
Earlier this month, a federal appeals court ruled the jail could
continue to operate despite reports of abuse.
