Overview

• More than a dozen New York City and state lawmakers were detained at 26 Federal Plaza, with 11 arrested inside after seeking access to holding rooms under judicial scrutiny.
• Roughly 70 to 77 people were taken into custody across the protest actions, with DHS arresting officials inside and NYPD arresting others outside who attempted to block a garage entrance.
• A preliminary injunction issued Wednesday requires ICE to reduce crowding, maintain cleanliness, provide hygiene supplies and sleeping mats, and ensure prompt access to attorney phone calls at the site.
• In the Chicago region, DHS stepped up operations under Operation Midway Blitz; during a predawn Elgin raid attended by Secretary Kristi Noem, officials said five people were arrested.
• Chicago activists report arrests near Home Depot and Menards locations and say some U.S. citizens were briefly held, which DHS confirms as temporary detentions rather than arrests, while an Illinois congresswoman has reported an unverified total of about 250 arrests since the blitz began.
