MIAMI SHORES, FLA. (WSVN) – The Archdiocese of Miami plans to continue holding services at the migrant detention center “Alligator Alcatraz,” after weeks of negotiations led to getting the green light from the state of Florida.
In an interview with 7News on Tuesday, Archbishop Thomas Wenski said that priests from the Archdiocese of Miami arrived to the site on Saturday and were able to enter the facility without any cameras to provide the first Mass to a full cafeteria of about 150 detainees.
