According to their father, 26-year-old Carlos Martin Gonzalez and his brother were on vacation in Orlando when he was pulled over by the Florida Highway Patrol on Wednesday.

The trooper ran the license plate and found the car had no valid registration in the United States or in Mexico.
When confronted, Carlos told the trooper that his brother, 31-year-old Oscar Alejandro Gonzalez, had the registration documents.

After three days, the brothers were transferred to Alligator Alcatraz. The brothers say they are scared and desperate to get back to their country…
