More than 1500 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. [View all]

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers canâ€™t find them and theyâ€™ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
