Today, April 24^th, 2025, Congresswoman Frederica Wilson (FL-24) visited the U.S.Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.) Krome Detention Center in Miami-Dade County.

Her visit followed reports of inhumane conditions at the Krome Detention Center, which prompted Congresswoman Frederica Wilson to write to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Krisi Noem requesting a visit to the Krome Detention Center. The visit also comes after the Congresswoman received letters from constituents telling her they worried about relatives who are being detained there.

Congresswoman Frederica Wilson entered the facility at 1 PM and held a press gaggle immediately following the tour at approximately 3 PM.

Congresswoman Frederica Wilson was able to tour the facility and see the holding room area, the courtroom area, the medical area, the mental health care unit, the recreational area, and a sleeping unit area. She also toured a newly built tent that the Krome Detention Facility plans on moving more detainees in as soon as tomorrow.
