Is your family member or client at Alligator Alcatraz? We obtained a list
The DeSantis administration has not made public a list of names of the immigrants held at the facility in heavy duty tents at an airstrip in the Florida Everglades. Individuals sent to the makeshift detention center do not show up in an online government database that allows the public to search for immigrant detainees' whereabouts. Lawyers say they have had difficulty locating clients sent to the site, often learning that they are there when detainees call family members.
The list — made public for the first time here — was shared with the Department of Homeland Security and the Florida Division of Emergency Management, which oversees the site. Neither disputed its accuracy.

The list is not exhaustive and it is subject to change as the detention facility's population fluctuates. The Herald/Times searched each of the 747 names in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Detainee Locator. Only 40 appeared on the public-facing website, most of them listed as being located at nearby facilities, and three marked with a note to 'call field office.'

The Florida Division of Emergency Management, which is overseeing the site's operations, has not said how many people are held at the facility. Democratic lawmakers who toured the site on Saturday said detention center employees told them that there are about 750 detainees at the site.

Children Harmed
On their shared birthday, Jayden Perkins and Kameron Miles would each have candle-lit cupcakes while friends and family would sing to them. Born six years apart on May 28th, the brothers were bonded by more than just a date. Jayden, the older brother, would trick-or-treat with Kameron on Halloween, and taught him how to spell his name. For Kameron, Jayden was his hero. But that tradition of shared candles and shared memories came to a horrific end last year, when Jayden, just 11 years old, was stabbed to death inside their home — killed while trying to protect their mother, Laterria Smith, from a violent ex-boyfriend. Five-year-old Kameron witnessed the entire attack. Click here to read the full story.

Dow futures sink as Trump keeps pushing tariffs while White House suggests Powell's job could be at risk
After Wall Street previously downplayed risks from President Donald Trump's trade war, investors are starting to take his tariff threats more seriously. U.S. stock futures fell on Sunday as Trump continued his letter-writing blitz, warning the EU and Mexico over the weekend that they face 30% tariffs unless they reach trade deals by Aug. 1. U.S. markets pointed lower on Sunday night as the Trump administration showed no signs of backing off on tariffs or Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. After Wall Street previously downplayed risks from President Donald Trump's trade war, investors are starting to take his tariff threats more seriously. Trump continued his letter-writing blitz, warning the EU and Mexico on Saturday that they face 30% tariffs unless they reach trade deals by Aug. 1. The EU said Sunday it will delay its retaliatory tariffs that were due to take effect on Monday to give negotiations with the U.S. more breathing room. Trump officials have also claimed Powell has mismanaged the Fed and point to renovations of the central bank's headquarters, with National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett even indicating that Powell's job could be at stake. When asked by ABC News if the renovation could be used as a reason to fire Powell, Hassett said, 'I think that whether the president decides to push down that road or not is going to depend a lot on the answers that we get to the questions that Russ Vought sent to the Fed.' He added that whether Trump has the authority to remove Powell is being explored, 'But certainly, if there's cause, he does.' Deutsche Bank said financial markets are underpricing the risk that he could be ousted. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 214 points, or 0.48%. S&P 500 futures were down 0.50%, and Nasdaq futures fell 0.55%. The yield on the 10-year Treasury edged down 0.6 basis point to 4.417%. Gold was flat at $3,364 per ounce, while the U.S. dollar was up 0.2% against the euro and down 0.12% against the yen. U.S. oil prices rose 0.58% to $68.85 per barrel, and Brent crude climbed 0.16% to $70.79. Key economic indicators are due in the coming week. The consumer price index will come out on Tuesday and the producer price index is due on Wednesday, offering fresh clues as to how much tariffs are impacting inflation. That comes as tariffs have yet to trigger a spike in prices, though many companies are still drawing down inventories that were stockpiled prior to the duties going into effect. Also on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve's beige book survey of business and economic conditions will be issued, while retail sales will be available on Thursday, and housing starts come out on Friday. Those datasets will also provide insights into how consumers and companies are responding to tariffs. Several Fed policymakers will speak this coming week amid intense pressure from the White House to lower interest rates. Earnings seasons get going in earnest over the coming week, with Wall Street eager to find out how much of the tariff are impacting margins. The top U.S. banks will report second-quarter results, starting with JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo on Tuesday. In the tech sector, streaming leader Netflix and chip giant TSMC report on Thursday. Among industrials, results from Alcoa, GE Aerospace and 3M are also due. On Thursday, Delta Air Lines beat earnings and revenue forecasts while also reinstating its 2025 profit outlook because demand had stabilized.
