Overview

  • Protesters gathered outside the Broadview, Illinois ICE processing center on Saturday during the scheduled 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. event.
  • Hundreds attended, according to the Chicago Tribune, after earlier estimates from village officials projected 2,000 to 5,000 participants.
  • Road measures began as early as 7 a.m., including closure of the I-290 southbound ramp at 25th Avenue, no access from Indian Joe Road to Lexington Street, and westbound Lexington closed from 25th Avenue.
  • The Broadview Police Department coordinated with Illinois State Police and the Cook County Sheriff's Office, with additional closures on 25th Avenue possible based on crowd movement.
  • Village leaders cited ongoing contact with organizer Carlos Alvarez-Aranyos and a commitment to protect peaceful assembly, with coverage noting the protest’s connection to heightened immigration enforcement and the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis.
