Last week, a lawsuit was filed claiming inhumane conditions at the facility in Broadview and how the people inside don't have access to their attorneys. Now, it's up to a federal judge who has the power to close the facility if he sees fit.
The dozens of people who came to the Broadview Village meeting Monday night were told to leave after they spoke out of turn. Many protestors outside the Broadview facility attended and were upset that a tent they had up there for supplies was taken down by the village.
