A Democratic congresswoman has given a scathing review of the Trump administration’s so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” in Florida, describing it as an “internment camp” that needs to be “shut the hell down.”

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who represents Florida’s 25th congressional district, said that pictures of the facility “don’t do it justice” and that detainees were being “packed into cages.”

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.

    they are just SO terrified of calling it what it is, a concentration camp. They are “concentrating” specific people into their camp. Call it what it is. it’s a Concentration Camp.

    I’m SO looking forward to what the Dems decide to call it when they inevitably set up little “chambers” there and people suddenly start “disappearing”.
