Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz reported alarming overcrowding and inadequate conditions at the Krome North Service Processing Center after visiting the facility. With 1,111 detainees housed in a facility designed for 882, many are forced to endure a lack of privacy and basic human dignity. Schultz expressed her dismay at the conditions, stating no one would want their family members in such an environment. These concerns come amid increased deportations and rising tensions following recent detainee deaths, prompting a call for reform from lawmakers and advocates alike.
