After 48 hours of confusion over the condition of Venezuelan influencer and "Alligator Alcatraz" detainee Luis Manuel Rivas Velásquez, his attorney's have officially confirmed that he is alive and has been returned to the ICE detention center.
The incident began on Wednesday when the detainee's girlfriend, Rosana Navaz, published a video on social media claiming that Rivas had died because of "negligence from the United States." The video, which has since been deleted by Navaz, went viral, prompting outcry from the Venezuelan community.
