Chicago federal intervention: Tracking surge in immigration enforcement operations | Updates

State and federal lawmakers are leading efforts to force Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to reveal their identities during operations.

Agents with face coverings are raising concerns about transparency, accountability, and public safety.

Now, nearly a dozen federal lawmakers from Illinois have signed on to a bill in Congress aimed at forcing federal agents to unmask. Click here for more.

ABC7 has obtained new body camera video of Franklin Park police responding to a deadly shooting involving an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent earlier this month.

Bodycam video captured police responding to the scene of a Franklin Park shooting that killed Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez. An ICE agent fired the shot.

The shooting unfolded on the morning of Sept. 12 after the Department of Homeland Security says a targeted traffic stop ended in deadly gunfire when the man they were after drove his car toward officers, hitting one of them.

There was some movement Sunday in and out of the immigration facility in Broadview as there is growing uncertainty about the future of the location.

ABC7 crews saw some buses and vehicles come and go, and that's where tensions started to escalate between protesters and the armed guards. ABC7 also saw guards on the roof fire off what appeared to be pepper bullets in an attempt to push the crowd back from the gate.

Tensions remained high at the ICE Processing Center in Broadview Sunday night as families of detainees received word that their loved ones may be moved to another location.

One woman, who did not want to be identified, said she received a call from the facility about her father who was detained earlier this week.

"They called us at 6 p.m. and told us to bring him something, because they're all leaving, and they're either getting sent to Wisconsin or Michigan or Texas," she said. "They're telling him he has to wait two months for court... two months in Texas and then he'll get deported... instead of self-deporting because, he just wants to self deport, but they're not letting him."

That comes as speculation is growing about how long operations may continue at the facility after protests escalated there earlier this week.

The Department of Homeland Security shared a statement Sunday night, saying in part "Any allegations that ICE Broadview Processing Center is temporarily closing is FALSE... Secretary Noem's message to rioters is clear: you will not stop us or slow us down. ICE will continue to enforce the law."

One man organizing the protests, Stephen Paul Beyer, says they're trying to maintain the peace with a message of solidarity.

"The families coming into visit it has been heartbreaking to see them we've really been trying to stay out of the way so the families when they come get a chance to see when their loved ones are taking out," Beyer said.

There are also concerns from families about the conditions their loved ones are enduring at the facility.

"He said they were sleeping on the floor he was handcuffed for about 12 hours and he said there was 150 people in one room at some point," the detainee's daughter said.

DHS said federal enforcement has arrested 16 protesters so far this week during some of the escalations that were seen.

The crowd remained calm Sunday night as ABC7 saw vehicles continue to come and go from the facility.

It was a powerful afternoon on Chicago's Northwest Side.

Community members gathered Sunday at Roosevelt High School for a town hall on resisting ICE. The event connected neighbors with tools to support immigrant families.

Attendees heard critical updates from elected officials and local organizations. Breakout sessions also offered hands-on ways to support immigrant families.
