Democratic members of the Florida congressional delegation are pushing to stop federal funding for an immigration detention center in the Everglades, advocating for the "No Cages in the Everglades Act." This act aims to defund the site, described by Democrats as an inhumane facility, enhance oversight, and ensure public data accessibility. They express concern over conditions within the detention center called Alligator Alcatraz, defended by Republicans as necessary. However, the bill faces an uphill battle due to Republican control, making its passage unlikely under the current administration.
Democratic members of the Florida congressional delegation seek to halt federal funding to an immigration detention center in the Everglades, labeling it as lawless and inhumane.
The proposed "No Cages in the Everglades Act" aims to defund the controversial detention site and enhance oversight, public access, and data transparency.
Republicans maintain that the facility, dubbed Alligator Alcatraz, is a necessary measure for detaining migrants and operates correctly under current regulations.
Due to Republican control of Congress and the presidency, the Democrats' attempt to defund the center faces significant legislative obstacles.
