Amid a steady stream of unmarked cars and masked immigration agents bringing in even more detainees here to the ICE processing center in Broadview Thursday, there was another stream of family members standing outside trying to learn information about their loved ones or their whereabouts.

“We’re losing people every day. Every day we are losing people,” said Christopher Gomez, who told NBC 5 Investigates his brother was detained by agents during a traffic stop Thursday morning.

Gomez said his brother does not have any criminal convictions and was told by security at the ICE processing facility that he’ll need to hire his brother an immigration attorney. He left the facility without being permitted to speak to him.

He wasn’t alone.
