BALDWIN, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – U.S. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib visited an immigration holding center in Baldwin earlier this month.

Tlaib said the facility is “where over 1,400 of our immigrant neighbors are currently being held hundreds of miles away from their families and communities. Our loved ones don’t deserve to be separated from their communities. We must hold ICE accountable.”

However, the Department of Homeland Security responded with its own question: “Congresswoman, which of the drug dealers, rapists, and child predators detained at North Lake are the “loved ones” you’re referring to? Don’t be shy. America wants to know.”

DHS then posted the rap sheets of some of the illegal migrants held in Baldwin.
