OCHOPEE, Fla. - The Trump Administration is forging ahead in its fight to keep Alligator Alcatraz open.
The backstory:
Protestors outside Rep. Laurel Lee’s office are furious over the treatment of Josue Galvez, a Tampa father and husband who was arrested for driving without a license.
Protestors wouldn't give specifics on his immigration status, but his wife heard from him last week, saying he called from Alligator Alcatraz.
The immigrant - who is from Honduras - told the family that there was a COVID outbreak in the cell he occupies with 30 other people.
That has protestors outraged, as they insist local members of congress take action to keep him safe.
What they're saying:
"They have 30 men locked in a cage experiencing COVID symptoms and that's not the way America works," said
