Alyssa Milano has been turned away from a Florida migrant detention center after turning up unannounced to perform an inspection inside.
The actress arrived at Homestead on Wednesday morning and was joined by a group of activists who demanded to get inside and meet the migrant children being held there.
They were refused entry and told they must submit formal requests,like everyone else.
Milano, who was photographed showing up in a chauffeur-driven Mercedes, streamed videos from the site on Twitter.
In one, she was heard telling some of the government workers blocking her access: ‘I’m Alyssa Milano. I’m an actress/activist and I would love to be let in based on a community visit.’
The agents told her and the group,which also included a state representative from Vermont,to submit requests in writing and turned them away.
Undeterred, the group held up cardboard hearts so that the children inside could see the over the fence which surrounds an outdoor area in the facility.
Once back in her car,Milano filmed another video and asked her 3.6million followers to submit requests asking for her to be allowed in on Thursday.
She also asked them to turn up at facilities in their communities and demand to be let inside.
‘We tried to get in,they wouldn’t let us. They gave me a card to email to make a visit request.
‘Maybe we should all email and tell them to let me in. I’m going to go back there tomorrow and again try to be let in.
‘They want me to make an appointment to be let back in, usually that appointment is set up for two weeks later.
‘Of course in that two weeks they have the time to clean up the place. I thought it was important that they just let me in,’ she said.

Fighting tears, she said: ‘There are thousands of children at Homestead. They had pencils and pens taken away from them because they were cutting themselves.
I went to #Homestead, the detention center where the Trump administration is holding THOUSANDS of children indefinitely. I tried to get in on a community visit to see the conditions. I wasn’t allowed in. What are they hiding? pic.twitter.com/zgwtYlraOV— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) June 28, 2019
The actress became the target of mockery following the news as MRCTV Managing Editor Brittany Hughes wondered if Milano “brought enough avocado toast and LaCroix for the planned photo-op.”
After market....
So why did they turn her away? They should have given her a blanket and assigned her a sleeping space.
Nothing. They are trying to protect the children from your crabs infestation.
It looks like her fun bags are as phony as she is.
Probably like a lot of teen boys in the ‘80s, I thought she was kinda cute back then. I truly regret having had a positive opinion of this talentless, brainless attention whore.
Find a hobby, alyssa.
Collect stamps, or something.
“her 3.6million followers”
Absolute BS.
Milano is an obnoxious brat.
Hi, I’m from Hollywood and I’m here to help you.
BTW is there a detention center for illegals in Hollywood?
So this bimbo thinks detention centers for illegal aliens are zoos? She has absolutely no business there. For that matter, neither does anyone else that’s not Border Patrol personnel.
I’m sick of hearing about this fool. I’m sick of the insane leftist trying to control, and thereby destroy America.
HHS needs to shut down these places and start deporting the illegals. President Trump needs to act now and close the border. Send in the Army.
That pic is old. She doesn’t look like that now. She’s old and wrinkly with two balloons stapled to her chest. She looks like a blow up doll.
Does Alyssa think they should just let me in if I show up down there? Why does she think they should let just anybody in? Does she think she has higher citizenship status to where they should just let her in?
Stupid uneducated b#$^*.
Glad to know you are thinking with you big brain now.
...go in peace and sin no more :-D
Amen.
” told they must submit formal requests,like everyone else. “
She ignored the rules.
