Cuban marble installer beaten multiple times at Alligator Alcatraz, placed in solitary for up to 15 days
Dec 2025 · FL, Cuba
Camilo, a 51-year-old Cuban man who worked as a marble installer, was transferred directly to ICE custody in December 2025 upon release from a Florida state prison, where he had served approximately two years for driving with an expired license and an unlicensed firearm. He was held for more than three months across multiple immigration detention facilities, including Alligator Alcatraz in Florida. He said guards there regularly used physical force against detainees during cell searches and that he was beaten multiple times. He was placed twice in disciplinary cells for periods of 9 to 15 days, where he was kept in confinement and required to move in handcuffs and leg restraints, including to use the bathroom. He was deported to Tapachula after 21 years in the United States.
