Wasserman Schultz on Trump’s Tour of DeSantis Everglades Internment Camp

Washington DC – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25) released the following statement on President Trump’s planned tour of the costly Gov. DeSantis Everglades prison camp for immigrants: “DeSantis’ internment camp puts decades of massive restoration and billions of dollars in Everglades investments at risk. It desecrates the tribal lands it sits upon and wastes hundreds of millions of state funding at a grossly inflated cost. When hurricanes bear down on these flimsy structures at a sacred, environmentally sensitive location, it will either produce costly evacuation boondoggles, or grisly mass casualties. With two million Floridians about to lose health care, Trump and Republicans badly need this wasteful, dangerous, mass misery distraction.”
