Chaos at Chicago ICE Center Leads to 21 Arrests

Chaos erupted Thursday outside an immigration processing center in Broadview, a western suburb of Chicago, when anti-ICE protesters clashed with law enforcement.

According to Fox News, demonstrators blocked traffic and refused orders to disperse, prompting multiple 🚔Arrests. Video from the scene shows federal agents and Illinois State Police engaging with protesters before taking several into custody.

A total of 21 people—12 men and 9 women—were arrested during the skirmishes, while a few officers sustained minor injuries, a law enforcement source said.

Protesters gathered outside the facility carried placards reading “God Demands Freedom” and “Protest Is Patriotic,” alongside colorful signs shaped like butterflies.

At one point, a group attempted to move beyond concrete barriers and march toward the ICE facility, an action police deemed a major violation.

Last week, a group known as the “Suburban Moms” staged a peaceful sit-in on the same street.

The scene reportedly calmed later in the afternoon, with no additional 🚔Arrests, and those detained were taken to the Broadview ICE Processing Facility, officials said.
