Close the Broadview ICE Facility
From the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression
For at least the past two months, the Broadview ICE Staging Facility has been used as a de facto immigration detention center. The Broadview ICE Staging Facility is meant to hold detained immigrants for up to twelve hours. In the past two months, there have been reported and confirmed cases of detainees held in the facility for far longer, some for more than a week.
The facility was not designed to house detainees for even a night; it does not have beds or showers. ICE detention standards require three hot meals a day to be provided to detainees; at Broadview, detainees report receiving one meal.
