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.
