According a statement from the Cook County Sheriff's Office, the Illinois State Police conducted 14 of the 15 arrests from yesterday's ICE facility protests in Broadview, all for resisting or disobeying police. Broadview PD conducted the remaining arrest for disorderly conduct.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov you WILL lose your momentum if you do not address this situation. Stop greasing the wheels of ICE operations in Broadview in the name of protecting protestors. You are enabling kidnapping. Protestors are willing to take risks to stop these horrors. Are you?

@govpritzker.illinois.gov, Illinois State Police are aiding and abetting the vile actions of ICE agents. WHAT WILL YOU DO TO STOP THIS?

Everyone needs to be pressuring @govpritzker.illinois.gov to rethink his choices here.

And yet you tell your citizens to resist-while deploying heavily armed state police to defend the ice facility you say you condemn.Now is the time for you to take the same bold action the protesters are taking every day. What will YOU do to resist what is taking place at Broadview?We are watching.

He needs to do better and exhibit some real bravery. Take a page from the Daley days and tear up the street in front of the facility in the middle of the night. Sentiment is shifting towards Pritzker as more and more Chicagoans watch him fail to put his actions behind his words.

This is assault.

And yet you sent ISP to allow them to do their criminal work, and let Greg Bovino direct them to enforce a "free arrest" zone on people who were chanting and singing. It's on video. You had my support, Governor. You lost a lot of ground with a lot of people today. Put your power where your mouth is.

Bwahahahaha. Hilarious.

Hoping that mic will be shared with @danielbiss.bsky.social. regardless of political preference for a particular candidate this should be a moment of unity, not of politics.

Preparation for tomorrow's press conference and hopefully @govpritzker.illinois.gov in attendance?

Quote card from journalist Leigh Kunkel that reads: “It’s hard to describe how strange it was and how clearly eager they were to enact violence on everybody there.”

Journalist @leighkunkel.bsky.social was left with a bloody nose after federal officers shot her in the face and the back of the head while she was reporting on protests at an ICE processing facility in the Chicago suburb of Broadview on Sept. 26.

Looking forward to this! Regardless of political loyalties, hoping that the mic is shared with Biss so the event doesn't develop campaign overtones.

The group on Chicago over the weekend were border patrol

As someone from Chicago who has experienced the abuse of peaceful protesters by the Border Patrol firsthand, i disagree with your assessment.

It is happening. Now. In Broadview.

It would seriously be hard to describe how much the crowd was NOT doing anything to warrant being attacked—not impeding anyone, not being violent, really not doing much of anything. At one point ICE just suddenly decided it was time to open the gates and unleash Hell.

This a beautiful and accurate recount of what these past weeks have been like.

This is a recount beautifully and accurately told. ❤️

See you out there. Much gratitude for all of your coverage!

The situation at Broadview isn't over. A small number of protesters reportedly still facing off with the feds in the dark, people have been coming and going. It's impossible to be there 24/7 to monitor but we'll get back over there as soon as we can tomorrow.

Sitting at the gate for my flight to Chicago so I can go to the Broadview facility in the morning, and I’m listening to some guy try to convince another guy the shit ICE is doing there is fine.

Also Saturday night!!!

I have participated in the Broadview protests for the last three Fridays. Each week ICE has been more aggressive…but the protests are having an affect. ICE has been forced to change their normal movement times and have erected an illegal fence around the facility to keep protestors out…

Broadview Demands ICE Facility's New Fencing Be 'Removed Immediately' The ICE facility fences, put up overnight Tuesday after days of protests, block emergency access for local firefighters and were not permitted, the village's acting fire chief wrote.

You said "we kicked ice Detention folks out of Broadview." That is inaccurate.

+1. Stop spreading misinformation that ICE is out of Broadview. The actions have been helpful. But they are still very much there and the actions need to continue.

This is inaccurate. Please be careful about sharing unverified information.

Seems like misdirection is kind of their whole thing, fam. Very odd scoop from a very odd source.

Even if it turns out to be true—

1) ICE moving detainees somewhere potentially more isolated/difficult to get to isn't a win
&
2) The facility isn't "closing," just temporarily diverting operations
