Overview
- An executive order now permits demonstrations only in the Beach Street safety zone at the Broadview ICE facility.
- Protests are no longer allowed on 2000 S. 25th Avenue between Lexington and Fillmore, a stretch officials flagged as hazardous for traffic.
- The previously imposed protest window of 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. remains in place under the village’s rules.
- Illinois State Police increased their presence, cleared crowds, and made about 15 arrests for unlawful assembly during the weekend unrest.
- National Guard units are positioned at the facility, while a federal appeals court blocked deploying them onto Chicago streets; Thompson also criticized federal agents’ reported use of chemical munitions, and Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth said DHS ignored their request to tour the site.
