Overview

• Federal agents deployed tear gas and fired pepper balls, including from a rooftop, to disperse crowds outside the Broadview ICE facility during Friday’s daylong protests.
• Demonstrators attempted to block vans entering and leaving the site, fireworks were launched by nightfall, and at least 10 protesters were arrested by day’s end, according to the National Lawyers Guild via AP.
• Video shows congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh being shoved to the ground by a masked agent, and Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss says he was teargassed while participating in the protest.
• ICE said more than a hundred people it labeled rioters assaulted officers, threw tear gas canisters, slashed tires, blocked entrances, and trespassed, and the agency reported multiple arrests.
• ICE and DHS say the campaign targets people with criminal histories, while an NBC 5 Investigates court-record review found many recent arrestees in Chicago had no readily found convictions; ICE’s operations chief told AP there is no end date in sight.
