CHICAGO (AP) — U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said his visit Friday to a Chicago-area immigration detention center will help him as he reviews federal deportation policy at President Barack Obama’s direction.

Johnson made the visit to Broadview Immigration Detention Center after an invitation from U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate.
