Senator Elizabeth Warren was outside the Homestead detention center today, where she called the camp that opened in 2015 during the Obama administration a “stain on our country.” Also present, and attempting to get inside, was actress/activist (not necessarily in that order) Alyssa Milano:

Leaving the area, Milano described how she might be able to go back a couple weeks later after emailing DHS and requesting a visit, but she thinks that might give them time to “clean the place up” first:

In the video, Milano asked everybody to email the address on the card she showed to tell them to let her in, and vowed to return tomorrow.

"In that 2 weeks they would have the time to clean up the place."
Well I would sure hope so, this can't go on for another two weeks, they need to start cleaning up the place NOW.

Bunch of old white women badger a black man for 6 minutes about something he has no control over.
Also if they clean the place up nice in the two weeks after you request a visit why not continuously request visits so its always cleaned up?
