Lawmakers visit 'Alligator Alcatraz,' but some wonder how much they'll get to see

Florida lawmakers are touring a controversial immigration detention center in the Everglades. The facility, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz," was rapidly built on a remote airstrip and houses 3,000 detainees. Gov. Ron DeSantis and fellow Republicans have promoted it as a tough response to immigration enforcement. However, detainees and advocates report awful conditions, including worm-infested food, overflowing toilets, and inconsistent air conditioning. State officials deny these claims. Some lawmakers were denied access to the facility earlier this month, prompting a lawsuit against DeSantis' administration. Democrats say they expect to receive a limited and sanitized view of the facility.
