Lawsuit alleges ICE detainees denied access to counsel while held in ‘inhumane’ conditions
CHICAGO — Protests in the suburb of Broadview, 12 miles west of Chicago, highlighted a little-known U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.
The facility, operated by ICE, had a low profile for most of its 19-year history, with only a weekly prayer vigil, started by a pair of nuns in 2007, attracting crowds.
A protestor dressed in striped clothing reminiscent of uniforms worn by those imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps walked with a sign outside the facility in October.
