Immigrants Deserve Dignity – Stand Up Against “Alligator Alcatraz” With This Tee

This Immigrants Deserve Better Than Alcatraz Shirt showcases a striking cartoon alligator raising a “No Alcatraz” placard, a visual riposte to Florida’s newly constructed “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in the Everglades—built over eight days, designed to hold up to 5,000 migrants in tented compounds ringed by wildlife and barbed wire.

The facility, officially located on a decommissioned Everglades airstrip, has sparked national debate. Governor DeSantis and President Trump praised its natural isolation and rapid deployment, promoting it as a deterrent to undocumented migration. Critics say it mirrors Alcatraz’s isolation tactics—punitive, symbolic, and deeply concerning.

Environmentalists and Miccosukee and Seminole tribal leaders have condemned the project, citing harm to endangered Everglades habitat and desecration of sacred lands. Even CBS reports documented flooding in tents during storms, adding to health worries amid heat and insects .

The cartoon gator on this shirt flips the script: instead of jail guards, it’s a protester. With humor and defiance, it channels community pushback, demanding humane treatment instead of detention. Wear this design to voice support for immigrant rights, environmental stewardship, and justice for people and nature alike.
