Two members of Congress visited Michigan's largest immigrant detention center this week and they say they want more oversight of the Department of Homeland Security.

Reps. Haley Stevens and Hillary Scholten, both Democrats, said they spoke with four of the 1,500 detainees inside North Lake Processing Center in Baldwin.

We also speak with Joe Beyer, one of the organizers behind the Fresh Coast Film Festival's Traverse City iteration. It comes to town April 30 - May 3, and has just announced its lineup of films and events.
