(CNN) Three Democratic congresswomen will be denied access by the Trump Administration to tour a government-run center for unaccompanied migrant children on Monday in Homestead, Florida, according to the members of Congress and the administration. The three members -- Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Donna Shalala and Debbie Mucarsel-Powell -- announced in a statement they were told they could not tour the facility and said a new law entitles members of Congress access to tour it. "Denying entry to oversee the conditions and care provided to the unaccompanied children in the Homestead facility would not only be a breach of transparency and confidence in the care provided there, it would violate the law," the members said in the statement. The Department of Health and Human Services confirmed access was being denied in a statement to CNN. "To ensure a facility visit does not interfere with the safety and well-being of our [children], we require a minimum two-week notification at the convenience and availability of the facility.
