Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Hieleras Detention Centers
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticizes U.S. immigration agencies on The Rachel Maddow Show, specifically mentioning "hieleras" or freezing boxes used to hold migrant families. The hosts clarify that these are nicknames for standard short-term holding cells. They also play a clip of Barack Obama from 2014 describing a similar humanitarian crisis at the border to highlight political hypocrisy.
