Lawmakers Tour ICE Detention Center

February 17, 2026

 

Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens and Hillary Scholten toured the ICE detention facility in Baldwin on Tuesday.

 

The purpose of their visit was to see firsthand living conditions for detainees and to push for answers in the death of an undocumented immigrant.

 

ICE reported 32 in custody deaths in 2025, the agency's deadliest year in more than 2 decades according to data on its website.

 

Stevens and Scholten both expressed their frustrations with the agency, along with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, calling for her impeachment and to demand an immediate overhaul of ICE as the Trump administration continues its immigration crackdown.

 

"We're lawmakers. We need to also roll up our sleeves as we have done for the safety and security of our country, of our state of Michigan, but also to close loopholes and to make sure that we have fair processes and transparency from the top down to the bottom."
