This seems like a pretty big deal: donors made illegal contributions to Susan Collins and then were awarded lucrative contracts after her office intervened with the Navy. An FBI investigation was dropped under Trump. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...
To skirt campaign finance laws and conceal the source of the funds, Navatek planned to funnel the donation through a shell company. The CEO wanted assurance that Collins would know where
the money came from. Reed confirmed that she would, the executive said - and that Navatek would get its government contracts.
After the Corner Bakery meeting, Navatek's CEO, Martin Kao, sent an initial $150,000 to the Collins super PAC using the shell company. Two months later, he told Navatek executives that Collins committed to getting the company $32 million in naval contracts, according to an internal company email reviewed by ProPublica.

Even though Alligator Alcatraz is now closed, the OIG report is still a scandal. It confirms many of the abusive conditions at the facility, which Florida outright denied. Making matters worse, the OIG says another Florida facility is not getting ANY inspections from ICE.
Although FSSF ceased operations in June 2026, the issues raised by the Department’s management response regarding ICE’s level of oversight and responsibility for immigration detention remain consequential. For example, the Baker Correctional Institution (also known as “Deportation Depot”)26 is a state-operated detention facility that continues to operate in Sanderson, Florida. Baker, which opened in September 2025, housed 1,028 detainees as of August 27, 2026. ICE’s own documentation lists contractually obligated standards for Baker as “N/A” (as we found for FSSF) and Baker has not been internally inspected by ICE’s Office of Detention Oversight nor was it scheduled for inspection in FY 2026 or FY 2027.

Finally, DHS's OIG found that Florida violated standards requiring people be given minimum 6 hours recreation per week, on at least 4 days. Instead, Florida only permitted people 1 hour, 3 days a week. As OIG points out, this made the tiny cells with no common areas even worse.
Key Finding 6: FSSF Did not Comply with Recreation Standards We found detainees were offered 1 hour of recreation time 3 days per week. With the limited amount of recreation, detainees could not engage in recreational and exercise programs, which could negatively affect physical and mental health. Detainees should have access to outdoor recreation for at least 1 hour per day, 5 days per week, or a minimum of 6 hours per week on at least 4 days, according to applicable standards.23 Combined with housing units without common areas and limited space for any form of exercise, the minimal recreation time further hinders detainees from engaging in meaningful mental and physical exercise

Fifth, DHS's OIG found that Alligator Alcatraz violated basic hygiene standards. People were only permitted to shower on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; no other time. The showers themselves were infested with small bugs. In addition, toothpaste was hard to obtain; you couldn't take it to the cells.
Key Finding 5: FSSF Did not Comply with Personal Hygiene Standards Detainees and facility staff stated that detainees only showered three times a week -- on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The limited number of showers prevented detainees from maintaining good personal hygiene. According to standards, detainees in “… general population will be allowed access to shower daily.”21 Before showering, facility staff give detainees a personal hygiene kit with soap, shampoo, deodorant, a toothbrush, and toothpaste. However, after showering, detainees may only bring the toothbrush back to their housing units. If detainees need more hygiene items on days when they do not shower, they must request them, and staff supervise their use. If a detainee requests toothpaste, a staff member applies it to his toothbrush.OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL U.S. Department of Homeland Security The OIG inspection team also observed that the facility’s showers were infested with small bugs, specifically on the ceilings. According to standards, detention facilities shall be kept free of insects and vermin.22 While on site, we interviewed eight detainees. We asked each detainee, “Is this facility clean?” Seven answered “No,” and two specifically cited the showers as a problem area.

Fourth, the DHS OIG found that detainees were not provided clean water and safe food. One freezer used to store food was broken, and detainees were not given clean water. Each cell had a single 5-gallon water jug, and people got a single cup, never cleaned, for their entire stays.
Key Finding 4: FSSF Did not Comply with Food Service Standards During our inspection, we found one freezer was operating above the recommended temperature according to its temperature gauge. Storing perishable food at temperatures above required ranges may result in food spoilage, increasing the risk of foodborne illness for both staff and detainees. Freezers used to store perishable food should be maintained at 0 degrees Fahrenheit (0 °F) or below. 19 We observed a container labeled “Freezer #1” with a temperature gauge reading 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Approximately 17 minutes later, when checking the temperatures again, the gauge read 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Facility staff rely on the temperature gauges to ensure food is maintained at appropriate temperatures. Figures 14 and 15. Freezer No. 1 Exceeding Required Temperature; Observed January 21, 2026

Underneath are two pictures of a freezer taken at different times. The temperature on the picture on the left shows 10 degrees, the temperature on the picture on the right shows 14 degrees.OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL U.S. Department of Homeland Security Detainees told us they did not have access to clean drinking water and could not clean their plastic cups. Drinking potentially contaminated drinking water from unclean cups could negatively impact detainee health. According to standards,20 clean, potable drinking water should be available. At FSSF, detainees receive individual cups for drinking water, and each housing unit has at least one 5-gallon container of drinking water. Detainees use these cups to obtain drinking water from the container. During our detainee interviews, when asked if they had access to clean drinking water, six of the eight responded “No” and noted that the drinking water was dirty. Several detainees also expressed concerns about the inability to clean their cups. During our inspection, we observed cups placed on the floor, bed railings, and ledges on bathroom walls, with no dedicated storage areas for cups in the housing units. Figure 16. Drinking Water Container; Observed January 21, 2026

Underneath is a picture of an Igloo 5-gallon water jug balancing on the wall of the toilets in a cell.
