'If You Can Keep It': "Alligator Alcatraz" And Due Process
The controversial immigration detention center — dubbed by Florida officials and the Trump administration, "Alligator Alcatraz"-- has already hit some legal snags since opening earlier this month.
Civil rights groups are suing the Trump administration over due process complaints. The lawsuit alleges detainees are being held without charges and aren't being given access to their attorneys.
It comes after reports of overcrowded cells, overflowing toilets, and no access to prescription medications.
The center was constructed in only eight days at an airport in the Everglades. Three weeks after it opened, around 100 people have already been deported straight from the center.
We discuss the legal rights of those held in immigration detention centers and what's happening inside the one in the Everglades.
