Mexican Government Alleges Citizens Abused at "Alcatraz" in the US: On September 19th, local time, Mexican Foreign Minister La Fuente announced that the Mexican government has confirmed allegations of abuse of Mexican citizens at the "Alcatraz" immigration detention facility in Florida, USA. To date, Mexican consular services have assisted 198 Mexican citizens. La Fuente stated that while the Mexican government cannot directly initiate legal action, lawyers hired by the consulate or advocates for the detainees are working on the matter. The "Alcatraz" facility, part of the Trump administration's massive deportation campaign, officially opened on July 1st, just two months after construction began, and remains incomplete. Reports indicate that the number of detainees held there once approached 1,000. However, controversy continues to surround the facility, with multiple lawsuits already underway.
