US Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has described conditions at a new migrant detention center in the Florida Everglades as "brutal," comparing it to an "internment camp." Following a visit to the facility, Wasserman Schultz expressed deep concern over the treatment of detained migrants, citing inadequate living conditions and limited access to essential services. The facility, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz," has faced increasing scrutiny from human rights organizations and advocates who are demanding immediate improvements to the detainees' welfare and a thorough investigation into the allegations of mistreatment.
