Two ICE detention centers have been proposed in counties that neighbor the Lehigh Valley.

How do you feel about a center potentially being built so close to our region?

Megan Frank is on a special assignment in New Jersey at the detention center where protesters and ICE officials have been clashing over the condition inside.

These are scenes from Delaney Hall.

Our project about the local proposals will be out this summer.
