US EditionDeadline Looms For Removal Of Fence Outside Broadview, Illinois ICE Facility
A federal judge ruled the fence must be removed due to safety concerns after Broadview sued, with Illinois legislators opposing the immigration crackdown, officials said.
- Tuesday night is the deadline for ICE to remove a security fence around its Broadview processing center under an 11:59 p.m. order from U.S. District Judge LaShonda A. Hunt.
- The Village of Broadview sued to force the fence down, citing blocked emergency access and public-safety concerns, while U.S. District Judge LaShonda A. Hunt issued a temporary restraining order last Friday after finding the fence on municipal property without permission.
- Bulldozers were in position Monday morning, crews in yellow vests appeared to be dismantling sections late Tuesday, and new concrete barriers plus sidewalk closures along 25th Avenue narrowed protest space.
- Attorney Alexa Van Brunt cautioned that ignoring a court order risks contempt proceedings, saying `When any party, any litigant, ignores a court order, you are facing potential contempt proceedings`; Illinois State Police Unified Command said they will maintain designated protest and media areas.
- The fence's removal marks the latest development in tensions among Immigration and Customs Enforcement , Broadview activists and local officials, while federal attorneys defended it as necessary and Ron Safer said, `I am very worried about where we are right now.
