Overview
- Authorities reported 21 arrests and four injured officers, with two Broadview police officers and a county deputy hospitalized and an Illinois state trooper treated at the scene.
- The Cook County Sheriff’s Office said clashes began after protesters left a designated zone and entered a restricted roadway, and most arrestees were booked on obstruction, disorderly conduct, or walking-on-a-highway charges.
- Officials said the standoff involved local and state police rather than federal agents stationed at the site.
- Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson condemned the injuries as unacceptable and urged peaceful demonstrations, while DHS posted a derisive message on X opposing releases.
- A federal judge has ordered releases or alternative supervision for hundreds of detainees over likely violations of a 2022 warrantless-arrest settlement, with DHS facing near-term reporting and release deadlines.
