Update: the riot began in one unit due to a lack of food. Hungry detainees began by simply speaking up that they were hungry but as the guards escalated, so did the detainees. The riot did not spread to all units in the camp. It is unclear if the riot is ongoing and there is no word of likely retaliation by the guard, nor of victories / escapes of the detainees.
Families of the detained are reporting that there are ongoing riots inside the Everglades Concentration Camp and are calling for solidarity action at the entrance to the site. This is the second reported uprising inside the Camp since its construction on Miccosuke tribal lands in the Everglades. Other uprisings around the country have resulted in detainees escaping as well as the 馃惙馃 killing and injuring folx.
This comes as the lawsuit against the camp continues to move slowly as the two sides argue over whether or not this is funded by the Feds and therefore subject to federal environmental law.
