It sure looked like Greg Bovino was in charge of the Illinois State Police yesterday in Broadview. Still waiting to hear back from Pritzker's office on this.

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.

37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois.

This is assault.

Continued video of feds gassing protestors and CPD alike. In the chaos one woman came to a CPD officer asking for help for a relative that she says feds just grabbed.

Officer response: "We just clocked in. We don't know what's going on."

In Broadview, IL this morning outside Chicago—

Federal agents have kidnapped hundreds of immigrants in recent weeks.

Outside the ICE processing center here, protesters are gathered for another Friday morning demo. Last week's ended in tear gas and arrests.

ICE vans periodically rolling in.

What we just saw: state police not only assisting federal agents with crowd control out here, but also protester arrests.

All morning, this has been a nonviolent demonstration. Have not seen a single crime from this crowd (not that that would excuse the brutality).

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago this morning.

Protesters here for this morning's action are gathering off 25th now that Beach has been fenced off.

A pair of men peering through the fence at ICE vehicles shout, "Get the fuck out of Chicago, you terrorists!"

Took fire to the face. ICE definitely isn’t aiming at ground and firing at people’s heads again.

an agent on the roof of the broadview ice facility is filming the crowd of protesters below with a dslr.

a protester joking asked, “does it shoot 4k?” and the agent nodded his head yes.

Good morning from the ICE detention/processing facility in Broadview, IL, where pepper balls are already being deployed. A few moments ago a federal agent responded to early morning protestor heckling by firing pepper balls at the ground. Meanwhile one of his colleagues urges him to come inside.

outside the detention/“processing” facility in broadview, illinois:

a crowd of protesters, some of whom showed up before 5 am, is heckling ice agents arriving to work.

a few minutes ago, special response team agents came out to push protesters away from the driveway. pepper balls already flying.

early-morning ice sightings are already coming in from around chicagoland.

agents stopped 2 people in a work van in humboldt park around 6:20 am near grand/kostner. witnesses say they were detained—unclear if anyone was arrested.

another seemingly bona fide sighting around 6 am at 35th/western.

‼️UPDATE‼️

Today, we filed a petition for the National Labor Review Board to monitor an election by City Bureau workers on certifying our union. While we are in communication with City Bureau’s leadership, they still haven’t recognized our union.
