Cuban reggaeton artist Leamsy La Figura, arrested last week in Miami-Dade, is now being held at the Alligator Alcatraz immigration detention facility in the Everglades.

He and other detainees claim they are enduring inhumane conditions, including lack of access to water, inadequate food and denial of religious rights.

La Figura, whose real name is Leamsy Isquierdo, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and battery. He was initially held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center (TGK) before being transferred to Alligator Alcatraz.

    So hey, remember all those Libertarian fringe types that were like “Rararar FEMA DEATH CAMPS!! THEY’RE A’BUILDIN ‘EM!! An’ they’re gon’ stick teh poor an’ disagreein’ U.S Citizens in there! Black bag kidnappings by the government!”

    …So… interesting how they’re shutting down the actually-useful FEMA but…now that they’re building literal death camps…and kidnapping U.S citizens to drop in there for inexplicable reasons…where’s all that energy? That outrage?

    …Just asking…
