Broadview, Illinois reduces ICE protest zone after ‘chaos,’ 15 arrests
(The Center Square) – The village of Broadview, Illinois is reducing the area where protesters can stage near the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.
Fifteen arrests were made Saturday, according to a statement from Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson.
“[T]oo many protesters are raising their fists rather than their voices, creating chaos at the expense of the people who call Broadview home,” Thompson said. “Broadview residents lack the protestors’ privilege to return to calm, quiet neighborhoods for undisturbed rest.”
Thompson said she signed a new executive order that permits protests only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beech Street in the community of about 8,000 people.
