The American Civil Liberties Union is expressing concerns about the Midwest’s largest immigration processing center, which is now open in Michigan.

The North Lake Correctional Facility has the capacity to hold 1,800 people. Privately owned by Geo Group, it’s located in the rural village of Baldwin, about 80 miles north of Grand Rapids.

The ACLU’s Ewurama Appiagyei-Dankah says private security companies often open facilities in rural, low-income communities.

“They try and come in and say that they’re going to help these communities develop and flourish and they do the opposite,” Dankah said. “They don’t really hire people there and the jobs that they do provide are not strong ones. There’s high attrition rates and people who have worked in these facilities report that those conditions are really bad.”

In a statement, Geo Group said the North Lake Facility will quote “help meet the need for increased federal immigration center processing bed space.”
