"I did not see progress," Rep. Norma Torres of California told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day" Tuesday, adding later, "I want to be sure that you understand that the conditions have not changed a single bit from the last time where I was at one of these locations eight months ago."

On Monday, members of the Hispanic Congressional Caucus toured a Health and Human Services facility for migrant children in El Paso and two border patrol facilities -- one in El Paso and one in Clint, which has come under scrutiny after allegations of poor health and hygiene

"What I saw were jail cells, cement jail cells, where children are being kept alone in group-like settings," Torres told CNN. "Children that are sitting and sleeping on the floor with an air conditioner going full blast, wearing nothing but the dirty clothes, and being covered with an aluminum type of sheet."

Torres also told CNN she did not feel safe being inside the facility, echoing Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, who also toured the facilities Monday. Torres claimed she and other Democratic lawmakers were disrespected during their tour, saying that border patrol agents took photos and selfies with the group in the background.
