A traffic violation has turned into a nightmare for Carlos Martín González, 26, and his brother Óscar Alejandro, 30, who were arrested in the United States on July 7. Carlos was driving through the tourist city of Orlando, Florida, when he was stopped by police, who also arrested his brother when he went to help him. Carlos had a tourist visa to legally enter the United States, while his brother is married to a U.S. citizen. Both were transferred to the dreaded temporary immigration detention center in the Everglades, the wetlands located west of Miami, which Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” So far, the Mexican brothers have not been able to see their lawyer. “All their civil rights are being violated,” says their father, Martín González.
