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.

"I got a chance to speak to a handful of the people who are detained. The stories range from heartbreaking to frustrating," Stevens said.

"What I saw today was not the worst of the worst. In fact, I had to ask about the safety and security," Stevens said.

"Do you have weapons on you? Do you carry firearms? No. Do you carry Tasers? No. So if this is the worst of the worst, then why don't we need our guards? They said no one in the facility has arms," Stevens said.

"We went through the intake process of what it would be like to be an individual who was being brought in to the ICE detention facility," Stevens said.

While Stevens says she also got to talk with those behind bars, including a woman who was arrested in Macomb County and is currently pregnant.

"She was so shaken and so upset and so fearful missing her young child and of course worried about her pregnancy," said Stevens.
