Guards at 'Alligator Alcatraz' beat, pepper-sprayed detainees, lawyer says

Guards at the Florida Everglades immigration detention center known as 'Alligator Alcatraz' allegedly beat and pepper-sprayed migrant detainees after they complained about non-functioning phones, per a lawyer's court declaration. A federal judge had ordered the facility to provide operable phones for legal communication, but state and federal officials denied violating detainees' First Amendment rights.
