Overview

• Homeland Security said 11 people were arrested outside the Broadview ICE facility and that agents seized two guns and a suspected explosive device, with investigations ongoing and no detailed charges announced.
• Broadview Police opened a criminal investigation after CBS Chicago reporter Asal Rezaei reported a chemical round struck her vehicle near the facility with no protest present, an incident she called unprovoked.
• Saturday’s confrontations featured heavy tear gas and pepper-ball use as agents moved crowds near the facility gates; U.S. Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino was on site and seen directing operations.
• Journalist detentions drew scrutiny, including the arrest and later release of Steve Held, as legal observers and advocacy groups criticized federal use-of-force tactics.
• Dozens of armed federal agents patrolled downtown Chicago on Sunday with at least one observed arrest, while Broadview officials accused ICE of intimidation and DHS rejected claims it used profanities toward local authorities.
