Two arrested over Louvre heist + Inside the notorious Alligator Alcatraz
About this episode
Monday Headlines: Two Louvre heist suspects arrested, Albanese and Trump in Malaysia for ASEAN Summit, wild weather lashes east coast, no big tech exemptions to train AI, and Microsoft Teams set to dob on Aussies that WFH.
Deep Dive: Alligator Alcatraz has existed for less than four months and has already become one of America's most notorious immigration detention centres.
With detainees reportedly permitted to shower only once every three days and forced to share clothes amid overflowing toilets and limited access to legal support, welfare organisations describe the $450 million facility as a “black hole”.
In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith is joined by Associate Professor David Smith from the University of Sydney who explains life inside Alligator Alcatraz and what it signals about the US Government's immigration policies.
