Florida officials hastily built the detention center last year, prompting a string of lawsuits

Guards inside Florida’s notorious “Alligator Alcatraz” immigrant detention facility are reportedly wearing patches featuring the Grim Reaper and the words “You can’t hide.”

A former guard at the facility, which sits on an old airstrip in a remote patch of the Everglades, reportedly made the patches and distributed them to other staff members.

“What I saw was ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’ a skeleton dressed in black holding a hatchet and a crocodile underneath,” former detainee Lewis Ortigoza told the Miami Herald of the patch. “It looked like something demonic.”

“I always felt haunted by it, but I never said anything because I was so afraid,” he added.

    Nah they won’t do shit, unless it’s to kids or other people.

    They’ll piss and moan they can’t do anything though.

    I won’t forget it that’s for sure. I’ve seen what they truly are now.
