Story summary

Two guards at Florida's "Alligator Alcatraz" immigration detention center are accused of battery against a Hispanic male detainee. Andre Junior Seenaraine and Stephen Jordan Trejos allegedly committed the battery on or around Jan. 25. The incident occurred at the Everglades detention center, formerly known as the South Florida Reception Center, which was shut down in the spring due to concerns over its tented facilities' safety during hurricane season. The center had faced criticism from immigrant advocacy groups and civil rights organizations, who argued that the temporary structures were unsuitable for long-term detention. It's worth noting that this incident is just one of many controversies surrounding the facility, which was opened in July 2025 as part of Florida's effort to assist with federal immigration enforcement. The center has been nicknamed "Alligator Alcatraz" due to its location in an area home to an estimated 200,000 alligators.
