Congresswoman Haley Stevens and Hillary Scholten toured the North Lake Processing Center in Lake County Tuesday. They walked through and spoke with some of the detainees. It's the largest processing center in the Midwest.

 

In December, Immigration and Customs Enforcement said a detainee, Nenko Gantchev, was found dead in a cell. ICE said the 56 year old died from natural causes. Scholten and Stevens says the death raises concerns about conditions in the facility.
