Rep. Maxwell Frost Shares Ominous Findings From ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Visit
HuffPost
The Florida congressman visited the new immigrant detention center in his state over the weekend and said “we can’t sanitize” its “horrible” conditions.
Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) is sounding the alarm over what he calls the “horrible” conditions at Florida’s new immigrant detention center, which members of President Donald Trump’s administration have callously promoted and dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.”
Frost and other state lawmakers were given a guided tour Saturday. Last week, they were denied access to the facility, leading them to sue Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis for what they called in a joint statement “deliberate obstruction meant to hide what’s really happening.”
Frost shared his findings on social media Sunday and on “The Rachel Maddow Show.”
“I don’t need Ron DeSantis’ permission,” he told the MSNBC host Monday. “I don’t need anybody’s permission to pull up to an immigration detention center and do my job, which is to go and conduct oversight — and tell the public about what’s going on.”
Frost confirmed on Instagram after his visit that the facility holds 32 people per “cage” and that they’re forced to drink water from spigots attached to the only three toilets in each cell. He called the conditions “horrible.”
