Overview

• Homeland Security says the Broadview Processing Center remains open and denies reports of an evacuation or temporary shutdown.
• Tall perimeter fencing and street barricades now surround the site, altering access and concentrating vehicle movement to a single entry point.
• DHS reports about 16 protesters were arrested in recent days at Broadview as the broader Midway Blitz campaign has surpassed 500 detentions regionwide.
• Protesters and recently released detainees allege overcrowding, unsanitary conditions and abusive treatment, which ICE disputes as false.
• Questions persist over the status of charges, with officials announcing arrests for assault on federal officers while the U.S. Attorney reports no corresponding federal cases on file.
