Scope and content

A collection of photographs taken by various attendees of the protests against the usage of the detention center known as "Alligator Alcatraz," which was built on the Big Cypress National Preserve in the Everglades in 2025. This detention center was constructed to house thousands of detainees and has faced several legal challenges on account of its location on land that serves as a vital ecosystem to native Floridian flora and fauna and the lack of preliminary environmental site reviews prior to its construction.
