Advocates allege ICE denying medical, legal access at Michigan detention center
May 14, 2026 · Baldwin, MI

The ACLU of Michigan, Michigan Immigrant Rights Center, and Michigan Catholic Center filed a complaint alleging that the North Lake Processing Center ICE detention facility in Baldwin is denying adequate medical care to detainees and limiting their access to attorneys. The groups detailed cases involving delays or denials of medical care, limits on attorney-client communications, and missed immigration proceedings, and are demanding an independent medical audit, mandatory emergency protocols, free medication access, and adequate translation services.
