Overview

• Mayor Katrina Thompson signed a new executive order confining demonstrations to the safety zone on Beach Street at the Broadview ICE facility.
• The move follows a chaotic weekend in which 15 people were arrested, with the mayor citing resident safety and coordination with Illinois State Police and the Cook County Sheriff’s Office.
• Illinois State Police are operating in a unified command and maintaining a visible presence to direct protesters to designated areas and keep access routes open.
• Local leaders, including Illinois House Speaker Emanuel Chris Welch, demanded the fence outside the facility be taken down as a federal judge ordered DHS to dismantle it by 11:59 p.m. Tuesday.
• U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi say DHS denied them entry to the site, while a federal appeals court blocked deploying National Guard troops to Chicago streets and critics allege federal agents used chemical munitions and made warrantless detentions.
