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

Texas National Guard troops are expected to be deployed to the Broadview United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing center Wednesday evening, law enforcement sources tell the ABC7 Chicago I-Team.

NORTHCOM did not respond to the I-Team's questions about the Broadview deployment.
