(CNN)Three Democratic congresswomen will be denied access by the Trump Administration to tour a government-run center for unaccompanied migrant children on Monday in Homestead, Florida, according to the members of Congress and the administration.
The three members -- Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Donna Shalala and Debbie Mucarsel-Powell -- announced in a statement they were told they could not tour the facility and said a new law entitles members of Congress access to tour it. All three represent districts in southern Florida.

"Denying entry to oversee the conditions and care provided to the unaccompanied children in the Homestead facility would not only be a breach of transparency and confidence in the care provided there, it would violate the law," the members said in the statement.

The Department of Health and Human Services confirmed access was being denied in a statement to CNN.

"We have had significant interest for facility visits," the HHS statement said. "To ensure a facility visit does not interfere with the safety and well-being of our [children], we require a minimum two-week notification at the convenience and availability of the facility. This has been policy since 2015."

Regarding the law requiring members of Congress have access, an HHS official said this: "It meets our current statutory obligation to provide members of Congress with facility access. Indeed, most members of Congress who have sought tours this year have worked with us collaboratively and without objection to schedule tours under the policy."

The government announced last week that the center will expand its capacity to 3,200 beds from 2,350 beds. The center is run by the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement.

You slimy pieces of shit! Interfere with the safety and well-being of your children???

YOU pieces of human excrement are the ones interfering with the safety and well-being of these children. You did that when you ripped them away from their families and stuck them in a fucking for-profit concentration camp. For profit. A concentration camp. An American concentration camp that makes profits for a bunch of parasitical shareholders.

You motherfuckers are being scumbag assholes right now, because you can, BUT THE TABLES WILL TURN. By God, I assure you of that! And then you will be hunted, arrested and tried for crimes against humanity, even if it takes years.

And I will tell you this - the piss poor excuse you were only following orders isn't going to hack it, any more than it did for guards at Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen.

No, you disgusting, racist fucks will be on the dock in an international tribunal and after you are found guilty you will be put in a cage.

You suck. Words just can't even say how bad you suck. What you have done is reprehensible, unconscionable. You are disgusting, immoral and un-American.

OK, end of rant. I'm calling my US Senators tomorrow.
