Judge Orders ICE to Remove Fence Outside Broadview Processing Center
Officials sued over a fence blocking a public road and first responder access near the ICE facility, leading to a federal judge’s removal order after protests and police actions.
- On Thursday, U.S. District Judge LaShonda Hunt approved a temporary restraining order requiring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to remove the fence outside the Broadview, Illinois processing facility.
- Broadview officials sued after the fence was built, saying ICE erected the 8-foot fence on Sept. 23 without a permit and blocked Broadview Fire Department access.
- During Friday's demonstrations, Broadview police handcuffed at least four protesters, arrested Mara R. Blumenstein, Emmett J. Matlock, and Peter M. Reimer, while over 50 people gathered with Maywood police and Cook County deputies present.
- The judge concluded Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson called the ruling `validation of local law and, most importantly, a decisive win for public safety.`
- The site has been a flashpoint since the administration ramped up enforcement last month, with federal officials arguing the fence protected agents amid ongoing protests and about 50 state police stationed nearby.
