Overview

• Agents at the Broadview processing center used chemical agents and physical force during a Friday morning protest, with congressional candidates Kat Abughazaleh and Daniel Biss saying they were hit by projectiles and shoved, and at least two demonstrators were detained.
• Relatives gathered outside Broadview describe scarce information and rapid transfers, and an advocacy group says ICE’s online detainee locator now lags about 72 hours, complicating efforts to deliver medicines or personal items.
• Recent arrests include workers stopped on their way to jobs, such as Tomás Alberto Pérez Hernández and Luis Gómez, whose families say agents conducted stops that quickly led to custody without clear answers about warrants.
• Felipe de Jesús Hernández Marcelo, shot during a June assault in Iowa, was taken into ICE custody after hospital discharge; his attorney alleges inadequate medical care in detention, and Judge Alexandra Larsen denied bond citing flight risk.
• Separate cases fueling outrage include a deportation letter sent to José Mario Rodríguez Grimaldi despite his death in 2022 and allegations of excessive force in a California workplace raid where a car-wash owner says agents injured him.
