Alligator Alcatraz has attracted criticism from lawmakers, human rights groups, and environmental advocates. In a post on X, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus wrote, “It’s hurricane season and all this administration can do is put more people in harm’s way.

“El Museo Nacional del Latino Estadounidense fue autorizado por el Congreso para contar la verdad completa y sin disculpas sobre las contribuciones de los latinos a la historia de Estados Unidos”, dijo el presidente del CHC, el Rep. Adriano Espaillat (NY-13). “No podemos permitir que este proyecto crítico sea marginado o reciba menos fondos."

Espaillat said that "if you uphold the peace of a democratic society, you should not be anonymous. DHS and ICE agents wearing masks and hiding identification echoes the tactics of secret police authoritarian regimes."

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus came out swinging against the majority ruling in the birthright citizenship case. “The Supreme Court’s decision to limit nationwide injunctions is a dangerous step backward,”the caucus said in a post on X. “It weakens the courts’ ability to protect our communities and directly attacks birthright citizenship.”
