Two members of Michigan's congressional delegation are expressing concern about a lack of transparency from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. This came after they toured North Lake Processing Center yesterday, the largest ICE detention center in the Midwest.

 

Representative Hillary Scholten of Grand Rapids and Representative Haley Stevens of the Detroit area spoke with four of the 1,500 detainees there.
