Rep Wasserman Schultz was shaken after touring #AlligatorAlcatraz.

“We’re packing human beings into kennel conditions, then calling it justice.”

After the delay, the MOC assumed the facility would be somewhat sanitized, but it was revolting:

She just visited & came away shivering: "It's 34 people per cage. They drink, brush, & defecate in the same tiny unit. The photos don't come close to the stench.”

Rep Frost: “We saw🚨humans being held in cages.”

He said the fac has hired 3rd-party private security officers, similar to those hired at concerts.

The detainees are grouped by color-coded wristbands, some *reportedly being held for minor infractions like traffic tickets,🚨with no criminal history.
“#Immigrants aren't poisoning the blood of this nation -they're the blood of this nation.”

Frost on MSNBC: "Rent-a-cops aren't trained to work at #Detention FACs."

AP spent a day outside a LA detention center: "On a recent day, dozens of people arrived with medication, clothing and hope of seeing their loved one, if only briefly. After hours of waiting, many were turned away with no news, not even confirmation that their relative was inside. Some relayed reports of horrific conditions inside, including inmates who are so thirsty that they have been drinking from the toilets."

Eventually, they'll know that Trump, Johnson... just lied continually about the #Medicaid cuts...” They’ll watch as red states build more versions of FL’s #AlligatorAlcatraz with the $Bs in this bill for the IMM #detention system *most already disapprove of. They’ll see vets lose their food stamp benefits, %rates go⬆️bc of the $Ts the bill adds to the debt.

What kind of ppl want to close rural hospitals, vets..?
Voters will feel the #austerity, soon.

🚨"If the bill passes, it could make #ICE the US' largest jailer, with more funding for #detention than the entire fed Bureau of Prisons. It'd give ICE enough💰to have more officers on board than the entire FBI.

This alone could transform American society forever."
