Day 27: Call to Demand Oversight Visit at North Lake ICE Detention Facility

Today, we honor every person caged at North Lake Detention Center and demand our elected officials witness the conditions where our neighbors are imprisoned. Congressional oversight visits force transparency into a system designed to operate in shadows, hiding the human cost of detention and deportation from public view.

When senators visit detention centers, they can no longer claim ignorance about the deliberate cruelty happening in our state. This is about breaking the silence that allows ICE terror to continue unchallenged.

Today's Action:

  • Call Senator Gary Peters at (202) 224-6221

  • Call Senator Elissa Slotkin at (202) 224-4822

  • Demand they conduct an oversight visit to North Lake ICE Detention Center in Baldwin, Michigan

  • Ask them to investigate conditions and advocate for detained individuals

  • Mention specific concerns about medical care, family separation, and treatment of detainees

  • Follow up with their local offices if needed

These calls are needed because detention centers operate with impunity when elected officials refuse to witness what happens inside. They represent our demand for transparency and accountability from systems that cage our neighbors.
