Overview

• Illinois State Police and the Cook County sheriff’s office established a unified command and designated protest zones along Beach Street with a safety lane and a restricted area by existing fencing.
• Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s chief of staff said the move followed confrontations last weekend, including a pepper spray ball that struck a TV reporter’s vehicle outside the facility.
• Broadview officials demanded that DHS remove newly erected fencing they say lacks a permit and blocks fire department access to the road.
• At least five protesters arrested on Saturday were charged in federal court, while others detained during the demonstrations were later released.
• Chicago attorney Robert Held said he spent about eight hours in federal custody and glimpsed a large room “jammed packed” with people, as advocates separately alleged inhumane overcrowding and limited access inside the facility.
