"In a desperate phone call to his husband, Matthew Marrero, he described his current living conditions. It's like a tent, and there are cages inside the tent, and there's like 36 beds in each cage that you're in, along with the bathroom stall that you have to use in front of everyone, the detained Marrero desperately told his husband in a conversation that amNewYork heard."
"I haven't gotten my medication. But the doctor said that they would try to get all of the ones that I listed for them, which is my regular medication, and they will try to get it to me here. But he said that there's no guarantee, because this is a prison. Allan Dabrio Marrero was detained by ICE on Nov. 24 when he and his husband attended a green card interview on the 8th floor of 26 Federal Plaza."
Allan Dabrio Marrero was detained by ICE on Nov. 24 after attending a green card interview at 26 Federal Plaza, when agents informed him he had unknowingly missed a 2022 hearing. He was separated from his husband, Matthew Marrero, and transferred to a Florida mass detention camp known as Alligator Alcatraz. He reports crowded, tent-like housing with cages holding about 36 beds each, shared bathroom stalls, no showers for nearly a week, and interrupted access to regular medications despite medical requests. Matthew remains outside, describing the apprehension as tearful and sudden, and seeking updates and assistance.
