Chaos erupted and arrests were made when ICE agitators clashed with law enforcement outside an immigration processing center in Broadview, Chicago.
Chaos erupted outside an immigration processing center in Chicago on Thursday when anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agitators clashed with law enforcement.
The incident led to multiple arrests after demonstrators blocked traffic and refused orders to disperse, according to Fox Chicago.
Video from the scene shows federal agents and Illinois State Police in scuffles with protesters and then taking several people into custody.
The facility is located in Broadview, a western suburb of Chicago about 12 miles from downtown, and has been a longstanding protest site for years.
Twenty-one people — 12 men and nine women — were arrested during the skirmishes and a few officers sustained minor injuries, a law enforcement source said.
A large crowd of protesters had gathered outside the facility, some waving placards reading “God Demands Freedom” and “Protest Is Patriotic,” while others held colorful signs shaped like butterflies.
