Summary
Amnesty International's investigation reveals that torture techniques previously used by the CIA in black sites, including the 'confinement box' method, are now being employed at a migrant detention facility nicknamed 'Alligator Alcatraz.' The article details how interrogation methods developed for the War on Terror have been repurposed against migrants, with detainees describing being forced into small boxes as punishment. The investigation draws parallels between CIA torture programs and current migrant detention practices, highlighting the continuation of abusive techniques despite official condemnation of such methods.
