The detention facility, located in the Everglades, houses hundreds of migrants in a tent city. Lawmakers were given a limited tour and claim they were denied access to areas where migrants are currently detained.

Detainees reportedly live in crowded cages (32 per cage), and have limited access to hygiene. Lawmakers reported seeing meager meals, and detainees are using the same water from the toilets for drinking and brushing their teeth.

Why am I not buying this?“

Because it is rats crying about it on CNN which means it is a bunch of BS.

If they stopped all their illegal alien whining and allowed themselves to be sent to CECOT in El Salvador, they would have been sharing Margaritas and candlelight with the RAT politicians today.

It's literally a repeat of the script they used before during the first Trump administration:

7/1/2019: Ocasio-Cortez: Detained migrants being told to 'drink out of toilets' Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and other Democrats described the conditions in two Texas immigration facilities as "indefensible."

These scumbags are from 3rd world shitholes.

I’m reminded of the scence from Kelly’s Heroes:

Pvt. Cowboy: God almighty, you guys smell like you fell into a dung heap!

Crapgame: Kinda makes ya homesick, don’t it?

Pvt. Willard: [to Pvt. Cowboy] You know it does, kinda ,don’t it old buddy

[NonValueAdded]

Oh, not the toilet water BS again.

[dfwgator]

You sure you’re not the smartest guy in the world?

[9YearLurker]

Time will tell.

Maybe they are like the Japanese toilets with a sink on top of the toilet tank. Space savers. I doubt it, but who knows.

[Jacquerie]

They were decidedly uninterested in the actual filthy and inhumane conditions of the J6 Gulag.

[cowboyusa]

So they are getting the dame present as the January 6ers.

[cowboyusa]

Same treatment.

[Mark]

Not enough Tampax?

[Words Matter]

Toilet basin or toilet tank?
Just curious.

[Words Matter]

Where is Tampon Tim when we (don’t) need him?

[lgjhn23]

“...The politician is being dishonest...”

Haven’t seen one yet that wasn’t.
Legalized thieves is what most of em are.

[Vaduz]

Detainees reportedly

Their ticked off because the don’t get the NY $500.00 a night rooms.

Karma chuckles

[existentially_kuffer]

Leave it to CNN!

[Apple Pan Dowdy]

They better be glad the walls are like a cage. It’s hot in south Florida and if they were solid walls there would not be any air blowing through.

[Veto!]

whatever they’re drinking it’s better than water in Guatemala.

From Wikipedia:

“The drinking water supply and sanitation sector in Guatemala is characterized by low and inconsistent service coverage, especially in rural areas; unclear allocation of management responsibilities; and little or no regulation and monitoring of service provision....”
