Did anyone else catch Rep. Frederica Wilson last night?

Lawrence O'Donnell interviewed the congresswoman from Miami last night. As part of the group that toured the camp in Homestead, she insisted on seeing the adolescent girls in captivity, who no one has yet seen. The officials resisted, but she wouldn't leave until they let her talk to them. Part of her concern was that observers have seen the young males allowed out to exercise, but the girls have not been allowed out. She's very concerned that with the Super Bowl being in Miami next year, these girls might be trafficked.

She stood her ground and refused to leave until they let her talk to them. She will continue to apply pressure to get them released. Until then, she will continue to monitor their treatment.
