MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A lawsuit challenging immigration enforcement activity in Wisconsin is headed to the state Supreme Court.

According to the ACLU of Wisconsin, federal ICE agents have been detaining immigrants in Wisconsin jails until ICE can pick them up.

The ACLU has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the advocacy group Voces de la Frontera.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court will now consider that argument.
