U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents clashed with protesters outside the Broadview detention facility in Illinois on Friday, dragging demonstrators, deploying tear gas and detaining one person. The rally opposed "Operation Midway Blitz," a new Department of Homeland Security initiative launched after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to send National Guard troops into Chicago. The confrontation has renewed criticism of federal immigration enforcement tactics and their impact on local communities.
