Overview

• The ACLU of Illinois filed suit with a coalition of media groups and protesters, accusing federal agents of escalating violence that violated First Amendment rights at the Broadview ICE site.
• The complaint names President Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and CBP Commissioner Gregory Bovino as defendants.
• Widely shared video shows Rev. David Black being hit in the head by a pepper-ball projectile during a rooftop volley by agents, and Black says he was shot multiple times without warning.
• A judge is expected to rule by Thursday on whether tall fences blocking the facility’s north entrance can remain, with federal attorneys arguing the barriers are necessary for security after recent clashes.
• Federal prosecutors are dropping a gun-carry case tied to the site after a grand jury declined to indict, and Oak Park trustee Juan Munoz described group detention and a release at a gas station following his detention.
