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

A judge has ordered the removal of a fence surrounding the Broadview ICE facility.

Attorneys for the federal government argued that the fencing across Beach Street was needed to conduct business and to protect vehicles and personnel, after conflicts erupted during protests of ICE action during operation "Midway Blitz."

The village of Broadview said the fence was put up without village approval, and it blocks emergency response.

A federal judge temporarily blocked the deployment of National Guard troops to the Chicago area, but the Trump administration has already filed a notice of appeal.

The first large-scale weekly demonstration outside the Broadview Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility since that ruling is expected to get underway on Friday morning.

Judge April Perry's decision came hours after the Guard arrived at the Broadview immigration facility on Thursday. Troops could be seen walking around and lingering near the facility.

Protest hours in Broadview are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, but it is not clear if demonstrators plan to adhere to the guidance.

Federal prosecutors are now asking a judge to drop charges against a man arrested during protests outside the Broadview Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.

Paul Ivery was charged with assaulting a Border Patrol officer last month.

Relatives say Ivery has intellectual disabilities. And a judge later released Ivery from jail, saying he does not pose a threat to the community.

There is a court hearing later Friday on the motion to dismiss charges.

Earlier this week, charges were dropped against three other people arrested during that same protest. Click here for more.
