World going to do about it. There has to be lawsuits to be filed, investigative reports to be done, every member of Congress to visit and expose this horror. We can't just let this stand.

Justice matters.

'This sanitized tour is not real oversight.'

For Democratic members of Congress planned an unannounced visit on Thursday to the so-called ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ center. Then the state announced it would give them a guided tour.

U.S. Reps. Lois Frankel, Maxwell Frost, Jared Moskowitz, Darren Soto and Debbie Wasserman Schultz issued a joint statement about the change in plans. The lawmakers said they will still attend, but that no one should expect it to be their last visit.

“As Members of Congress, we were planning an unannounced oversight visit of this Everglades detention facility. Today, we received notice from the state announcing its own planned ‘tour’ at the same time, on the same day,” the statement reads.

The Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) facility on Wednesday extended an invitation to state and federal lawmakers to tour the facility, as first reported by the Miami Herald and Tampa Bay Times.
