Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D-Fla.) was among a group of lawmakers given a tour of the controversial immigration detention center built by the state of Florida.

Without permanent structures, electricity or running water, logistical headaches have emerged at “Alligator Alcatraz.”

A group of Florida Democrats in Congress introduced a bill to cut off funding for Alligator Alcatraz and any immigration detention facility located in or near the Everglades. The bill aims to ensure access, public disclosure on how it operates, and Congressional oversight.

Dubbed the "No Cages in the Everglades Act," the six-page bill was sponsored by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston

Some people detained at the facility have violent criminal histories. But data and news reports about the first month’s arrivals show the majority of Alligator Alcatraz’s detainees do not have U.S. criminal convictions.
