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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

In a liberal state like Illinois, I'd have thought they would make the "protest zone" larger claiming protestors being too close together was responsible for all the arrests. :pondering:

Well Chicagoland anyway. That's the big frustration of my rural neighbors - Chicago rules while 90% of the rest of the state is blood Red.
The Republic is lost.
