Overview

• An unpermitted fence that extends into a public street remains around the Broadview processing center as local officials demand its removal, citing blocked fire access and safety risks.
• DHS defends the fencing as a response to violent obstruction by protesters, a characterization disputed by Illinois officials who also reject claims that state or local police refused to assist.
• Broadview police are investigating after a demonstrator was struck by a pickup truck near the facility; the victim is stable, and who was driving has not been confirmed.
• Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks announced his arrival in Chicago as reports documented early-morning raids in Cicero and arrests tied to retail locations and a North Side shelter.
• Nearly 550 arrests have been reported under Operation Midway Blitz as the AP and local groups detail days-long holds at Broadview with scarce food, water and attorney contact, leaving families struggling for information.
