After a closer look at the IG report, here are the clues I found indicating an "Alligator Alcatraz" cover-up. FWIW, I don't think the DHS OIG was in the conspiracy, I think they were in way over their heads. prospect.org/2026/09/17/a...

This is insane. DOJ officials who by law are required to exercise independent judgment appear to have been ordered to overturn torture protections granted to a political opponent of a Trump ally, with a deportation flight fueled up and ready for their preordained decision made in less than 24 hours.
U.S. Fast-Tracked Deportation of Ecuadorean Politician Despite Torture Fears

“The worst place ever I’ve been in my life," Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker, told me over the phone from Guantanamo Bay last week.
Sakariye is one of 7 or 8 Somalis who are being held at Gitmo. They say guards tell them the order to keep Somalis at the facility comes from DC.

The Trump administration has used secretive agreements to deport over 23,000 immigrants to third countries where have no ties and may face persecution.
Increasingly, immigrants are being dropped into conflict zones, attacked, or sent back to the countries they fled.

Good flag from @gillianbrockell.com that reporting on "The Box" suggested that it may have been much worse. The OIG saw "The Box" as of January 2026. Interviews done with people detained in September 2025 said at the time that "The Box" was smaller, people were chained in it, and it wasn't covered.
Here is the report, which also contradicts DHS IG report's claim that detainees weren't held there for more than two hours.
