A Democratic congresswoman has given a scathing review of the Trump administration’s so-called ā€œAlligator Alcatrazā€ in Florida, describing it as an ā€œinternment campā€ that needs to be ā€œshut the hell down.ā€

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who represents Florida’s 25th congressional district, said that pictures of the facility ā€œdon’t do it justiceā€ and that detainees were being ā€œpacked into cages.ā€

On Saturday Florida lawmakers from both parties took a state-arranged tour of the new 3,000-bed detention center that the state rapidly built on an isolated airstrip surrounded by swampland in the Everglades.

    OMG! You liberals are just grasping at straws now. This is not an internment camp, or a concentration camp. This is a freedom camp! Some call it a ā€œHappy CampĀ®ā€. It will be where these illegals can work their way to freedom. I hear DHS is going to put a nice slogan over the gate to avoid confusion, something like ā€œWork Will Set You Freeā€. If that doesn’t work out, I am pretty sure the Trump administration with come up with a better solution. Some might say, a final solution!
