Overview
- Cook County Police said 21 people were arrested outside the Broadview processing center, mostly on obstruction and disorderly conduct charges.
- Organizers reported that at least seven of those detained were clergy from several faith traditions.
- Video and eyewitness accounts show officers seizing the Rev. Michael Woolf and taking him to the ground; he said he was left with extensive bruising after seven hours in custody.
- Protesters and clergy describe the use of pepper balls and chemical agents during recent actions, even as a court order has limited federal agents’ use of force against demonstrators.
- Faith leaders say officials again refused entry for pastoral care after a multifaith service, and the demonstrations continue as a religious challenge to the ‘Operation Midway Blitz’ enforcement campaign.
