Seven Florida Democratic members of Congress said they were deceived and are demanding answers from Gov. Ron DeSantis about the use of small metal cages at the now-closed immigration detention center dubbed Alligator Alcatraz.

In a letter Tuesday addressed to DeSantis, the lawmakers requested that the state provide a list of all records and evidence related to the controversial detention center and asked whether Attorney General James Uthmeier — who came up with the idea to erect the facility in the middle of the Everglades — had assessed the state’s potential civil liability over its treatment of detainees.
