Good Trouble: 
The migrant detention facility known as Alligator Alcatraz in the Florida Everglades is detaining nearly 750 individuals — many of whom are nonviolent and have committed no crimes beyond immigration violations. Conditions have been reported as inhumane, including:

- Intense heat and no proper shelter

- Overcrowding in wire cages, up to 32 per cell

- Inadequate sanitation and hygiene

- Worm-infested food and 24-hour lights disrupting sleep cycles

- No hurricane evacuation plan despite storm threats

Critically, many detainees are foreign nationals — from ICC member states like Mexico, Guatemala, and Cuba — opening a window for International Criminal Court jurisdiction to prosecute individual actors for crimes against humanity.

“Under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, the Office of the Prosecutor (“OTP”) may analyse information on alleged crimes within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and aggression), submitted to it from any source”.
