Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Mexico Pushes for Repatriation of Nationals Held in 'Alligator Alcatraz'
Caption: Mexico Pushes for Repatriation of Nationals Held in ‘Alligator Alcatraz’. Mexico is demanding the return of 14 citizens held at a controversial U.S. detention center nicknamed "Alligator Alcatraz," located in Florida's wetlands and surrounded by dangerous wildlife. President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that all necessary steps are underway to repatriate them swiftly. Among the detainees are Carlos and Alejandro Gonzalez, two brothers held after a traffic stop. Their father claims they've been kept in harsh conditions—no natural light, constant artificial lighting, and total isolation. U.S. officials say Carlos was working illegally and had racked up over 200 toll violations, while Alejandro had overstayed his visa. Mexico's consul in Orlando says the brothers are in "legal limbo," with no assigned judge and a lawyer lacking access to their case files. Since Trump took office, over 73,000 individuals have been deported to Mexico, mostly by air. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
