Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition.
A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

At the Broadview, IL ICE detention center—
IL state troopers are already pushing non-violent demonstrators out of the street and away from the ICE facility. One arrest so far.

ISP just shoved an elderly woman to the ground. Trooper here declares an unlawful assembly and is screaming at people to stay out of the road (they were...already out of the road).

Heard an officer say "let's do it" and then, in the dark, they tackle Rabbi Ben to the ground. He's being loaded into a CCSO wagon now. Broadview police also here screaming at people.

ISP declares unlawful assembly again via loudspeaker now.
Unsure why since all people are doing right now is standing on the sidewalk where they've been ordered to be.
They're telling people they have to either disperse or return to designated free speech zone.

Everyone is out of the road and either in the ~free speech zone~ or on adjacent corners. Troopers with long batons in the street now. Across the intersection, they are tightly guarding protesters and press from stepping off the sidewalk.

ISP gets in formation and a number of them march away from the intersection, toward the parking lot neighboring the ICE facility (it belongs to a business, not ICE's lot).
The crowd starts a rendition of The Imperial March.

This is Brighton Park, the neighborhood where a U.S. Border Patrol agent also shot a woman earlier today. It is a predominantly Latine community on the southwest side.

Your local law enforcement agencies are proud to announce that you now have fewer rights to public space than a hastily erected fence does
the cook county sheriff’s office and illinois state police announce they’re setting up a “temporary unified command” to “coordinate public safety efforts” outside the broadview ice detention center.
this includes “designated areas” for protest along the sidewalk “to allow emergency vehicle access.”

ICE claims to have taken 900 people from Chicagoland, but the state police are now going to do crowd control to stop the protesters who are trying to get in the way.
Federal agents claim as many as 900 people have been detained in recent weeks in the Chicago area, but have shared few details on the arrests, making it difficult to independently verify the information and background of individuals.

Broadview police here have already threatened protesters with arrest several times.
Note: the new "free speech zone" with barricades set up by the ICE fence is around the corner. This driveway through an adjacent lot with businesses lining it is where ICE vehicles travel through now.
