Protesters call on county, state to shut down Broadview ICE facility, alleging inhumane conditions – ABC7 (Chicago)

Protesters want elected officials to use the Illinois Way Forward Act, which already forbids county and state facilities from housing ICE detainees, to shut down the Broadview facility, which, in their view, has become a de facto detention center. "They don't have showers. They don't have beds. They don't have kitchen facilities. It's not. It's meant to be a processing center. That is really all it is. It's not meant to hold people for longer than 12 hours," immigration attorney Louise Carhart said.
