Reps: Questions remain around death of ICE inmate in Michigan facility

Two members of Michigan's congressional delegation say questions remain surrounding the December death of an inmate at a Baldwin processing facility for those detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.
 

U.S. Reps. Haley Stevens, D-Birmingham, and Hillary Scholten, D-Grand Rapids, said their inquiries to the Department of Homeland Security about the death of Nenko Stanev Gantchev, a 56-year-old native of Bulgaria who died while being held at the North Lake Processing Center in Baldwin, have not been returned.

"The oversight and the transparency of this center begins at the very top," Stevens told reporters, who were not allowed inside the facility during the tour. "Unfortunately, the outreach that Congresswoman Scholten and I made to (Noem) went unanswered around the death of Mr. Gantchev."
