Noem visits Chicago area ICE facility as agents arrest 13, raid city neighborhoods
Federal agents detained at least 13 protesters during escalating clashes at the Broadview ICE facility amid ongoing immigration enforcement operations, officials said.
- Friday morning, Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino led federal agents who attacked protesters outside the Broadview U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing facility at 1930 Beach St., amid weeks of demonstrations.
- Operation Midway Blitz, begun in early September, has driven weekly demonstrations as protesters pressure the government to end Midway Blitz and At Large enforcement since September 8.
- Federal agents fired tear gas, pepper balls and rubber bullets at crowds, put their hands on Rev. Michael Woolf's neck while pushing protesters, and Illinois State Police and Cook County Sheriff's Office formed larger perimeters.
- Local arrests and probes followed the Friday clash, with Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin reporting 13 arrests and Gov. JB Pritzker demanding accountability from federal agents.
- The FAA restricted Chicago airspace and a drone ban runs Oct. 1-12 within a 15 nautical miles radius including Broadview, while concrete barricades and Unified Command measures segregate protesters.
