Overview
- Legal observers said at least 10 people were arrested during the Broadview confrontation, while ICE earlier reported three, and videos show officers deploying tear gas and pepper-ball rounds.
- DHS said nearly 550 people have been taken into custody in less than two weeks as part of a Chicago-area enforcement campaign that senior officials describe as a priority.
- Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss and congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh reported being shoved or hit with chemical agents; DHS later condemned the demonstrators in a social media post.
- Families seeking updates at the Broadview processing site report scarce information, a roughly 72-hour delay on ICE’s online detainee locator, and rapid transfers out of Illinois.
- A CNN-verified video shows a Cicero couple detained and separated, while other accounts describe alleged excessive force at a California car wash and a reported taser use during a Des Plaines stop, alongside concerns about medically fragile or long-term residents in custody.
