ICE in Chicago amid ongoing "Operation Midway Blitz" activity

Parents and community leaders across Chicago are organizing safe trick-or-treat spaces this Halloween as concerns grow about the presence of federal immigration agents in the city causing disruptions.

The concern comes after federal agents used tear gas last weekend in the Old Irving Park neighborhood, disrupting a Halloween parade and party just blocks away.

With thousands of trick-or-treaters set to hit Chicago streets this Halloween, community leaders and residents are taking action to address concerns.

"We know that we have ICE in our communities," Ald. Anthony Quezada (35th) said. "We know that our families are afraid about ICE operations."

Quezada said residents in Logan Square received approval to close the 2400 block and 2500 block of North Bernard Street to create a safe area for trick-or-treaters.

"They can close off the streets to traffic and ensure that they have volunteers who are posted up at the intersections in the surrounding areas," Quezada said.

The Little Village Community Council organized its own Halloween event along 26th Street from Kostner to Sacramento avenues.

On Friday, the Little Village Halloween event runs from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., while Logan Square's safe trick-or-treat zone will close streets from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Ruben Torres, a detained immigrant and the father of a teenage girl fighting Stage 4 cancer, is being released on bond as his deportation case makes it way through the system.

Torres is a Mexican national who has been in the U.S. since 2003. He was taken into custody near a Home Depot in Niles last weekend. His attorneys have fought for his release since, noting he did not get a bond hearing before an immigration judge and that he has no criminal record beyond a few minor traffic violations.

His lawyers also argued that his 16-year-old daughter Ofelia Torres is being treated for advanced cancer, and he is the main parent who watches her brother while she receives treatment.

Last week, a judge ruled his rights were violated when he was detained without a bond hearing.

Torres appeared virtually before a judge in an orange-and-white striped jail uniform from custody in Indiana. The judge approved $2,000 bond for his release. His attorneys said he posted bond Thursday afternoon and should be released before the end of the day.

"I'm happy to report that Sandibel is on the way to Indiana, driving to pick up her husband who hopefully will be released in a matter of hours," attorney Kalman Resnick said.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was in Gary, Indiana, on Thursday to announce the arrests of hundreds of immigrants, many of them accused of driving trucks without a valid license.

Noem also answered questions about "Operation Midway Blitz," the Trump administration's ongoing immigration enforcement operation in the Chicago area.

Noem held a news conference with several other officials including Indiana Governor Mike Braun, U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons. The mayor of Gary said he would not attend.

Noem said federal immigration authorities, working with Indiana State Police troopers, have arrested 223 suspected unauthorized immigrants on state highways, including 146 truck drivers, as part of the operation.

"If you are here driving on our streets illegally and our highways, you are endangering our citizens, and your days are numbered," she said.

A scuffle between federal agents and a person they were trying to detain spilled into a high school in north suburban Gurnee Thursday morning, school officials said.

Warren Township High School District 121 Superintendent Dr. Denny Woestman sent an email to parents shortly after 9:30 a.m. to tell them about the incident.

Woestman said that he believes the incident started with an off-campus encounter between federal agents and adults who are not related to the school district. He said the adults then came onto WTHS's O'Plaine campus, with federal agents following.

The agents followed one of the adults through a door into an O'Plaine campus building. The door was open as it was being "used appropriately" by students and staff coming as part of a normal school day, Woestman said.

Woestman said inside the building, there was a physical altercation between the federal agents and the adults, which happened in front of students and staff.

The adults were taken into custody and removed from the school's campus, Woestman said.

The Department of Homeland Security said Border Patrol agents were attempting to arrest two undocumented immigrants "with rap sheets" when the men sped away.

DHS identified the men as Josafat Garcia-Roa and Samuel Suarez-Cuevas. A spokesperson said they had previously been deported.

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino was set to face tough questions in a deposition Thursday, in part of an ongoing fight over how federal agents are handling immigration enforcement in Chicago.

At 10 a.m. Thursday, Bovino began testifying for a deposition that is expected to last about five hours. He will be questioned about how his agents carried out arrests that turned chaotic earlier this month.

Court filings show Bovino and two other federal officials — Russell Hott and Daniel Parra — will sit for depositions that will be recorded on video. Hott, the field director for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement in Chicago, sat for a deposition in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. Parra, deputy chief patrol agent a Customs and Border Protection, will sit for a deposition on Friday.

Attorneys for protesters and press say federal agents fired chemical agents and used crowd control devices during immigration operations in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood and west suburban Cicero.

They also accuse the U.S. Department of Homeland Security of posting edited body camera and drone video online while refusing to turn over unedited versions.

Just before noon on a sunny Friday earlier this month, federal immigration agents threw tear gas canisters onto a busy Chicago street, just outside of an elementary school and a children's play cafe.

Parents, teachers and caretakers rushed to shield children from the chaos, and have been grappling ever since with how to explain to them what they'd seen: how much to tell them so they know enough to stay safe, but not too much to rob them of their innocence.

Weeks later, families — even those not likely in danger of being rounded up in immigration raids — say they remain terrified it will happen again, demonstrating how fear seeps into every facet of American life when the Trump administration's immigration crackdown takes over a city.

An attorney filed a lawsuit this week challenging an order by the Village of Broadview that imposed a curfew on protest activity at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility earlier this month.

Attorney Robert Held filed the lawsuit against the Village of Broadview, Mayor Katrina Thompson, and police Chief Thomas Mills in U.S. District Court on Monday.

Three weeks earlier, Mayor Thompson issued an executive order limiting protests outside the ICE facility at 1930 Beach Street and the designated protest area at 2000 S. 25th Av. In Broadview to between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily.

The mayor said the order is needed to balance the constitutional rights of protesters with the needs of Broadview residents and businesses.

Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino appeared in federal court Tuesday, testifying about video showing him throwing tear gas in Little Village and other alleged violations of a temporary restraining order.

Judge Sara Ellis sharply questioned the CBP chief on specific incidents in Little Village, Old Irving Park and Lakeview, as well as his and his agents' overall compliance with the TRO she issued earlier this month.

When she was done, she ordered him to meet with her in person on a daily basis and to inform her of everyone who has been arrested during Operation Midway Blitz for non-immigration-related reasons. 

The night manager at the Chicago Laugh Factory has been charged with assaulting U.S. Border Patrol agent during a confrontation outside the Lakeview comedy club last week.

Nathan Griffin has been charged with one count of forcibly assaulting, impeding, and interfering with a federal officer.

According to the charges, on Friday morning, Border Patrol agents were in an unmarked vehicle near Broadway and Belmont Avenue, looking for a body-worn camera they believed might have been dropped in the area during a prior immigration-related arrest. 

When one of the agents opened the front passenger door to get out and look, Griffin forcibly tried to close the door, according to the charges. The agent suffered "a small gouge and scrapes on his right leg" when Griffin closed the door on his leg, the complaint states.

Two people were detained by federal agents during a traffic stop on Sunday morning in Addison, Illinois, immigration officials said.

A spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the occupants inside the car did not cooperate with commands from agents, which resulted in the agents breaking the vehicle's window to arrest the two individuals. Information about the two people detained was not immediately released. A third person, who was the driver, showed the agents her green card and was let go.

Martin Perez said the two detained are his cousins. 

"These are just hardworking people. All they do is work every day, that's all they do," he said.

Perez said his cousins are undocumented but have been in the country for 30 years. For 20 years, one of them worked at a landscaping company.

A federal judge has ordered a bond hearing be held for Ruben Torres Maldonado, a detained immigrant whose daughter is suffering from cancer, as his deportation case makes its way through the system.

U.S. District Judge Jeremy Daniel ruled on Friday that Maldonado's rights were violated when he was detained without a bond hearing as the Trump administration moves to deport him.

Maldonado, a Mexican national who has been in the country since March 2003, was taken into custody near a Home Depot in north suburban Niles on Saturday, pending deportation proceedings.  

But, rather than release him from custody as his attorneys had sought, Daniel ruled that the government must provide him with a bond hearing by Oct. 31.  

A federal judge in Chicago has ordered U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino to attend a hearing in her courtroom next week, after he was accused of violating a temporary restraining order limiting federal agents' use of certain tactics to suppress protests or prevent media coverage of immigration enforcement operations in Illinois.

U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis ordered the Trump administration to produce Bovino for a hearing in her courtroom on Tuesday. She has repeatedly raised concerns about federal agents' aggressive tactics while carrying out immigration enforcement operations in Chicago.

Ald. Bennet Lawson, who represents the 44th Ward, said federal agents pulled one of four workers doing construction on a home on Lockwood in the Lakeview neighborhood. Dozens of neighbors came out to protest the arrest; they surrounded the agents' car and that's when they set off the tear gas.

"Construction workers, landscapers and nannies seem to be a target," Ald. Lawson said. "There's no name involved, there's no reading of rights. They're just grabbing people."

"They stopped, rolled their windows down, dropped the tear gas and continued on driving," said Andrew Diehl, a neighbor who got tear gassed. "There is a school two blocks down the road. People were walking their dogs. Children get walked here frequently. It's Friday in the middle of the day."

The Laugh Factory Chicago posted video of its night manager, Nate, being taken into custody by federal agents Friday morning.

The posted video shows him standing on the street at Belmont and Broadway in Lakeview, holding onto a piece of construction scaffolding with a white SUV belonging to federal agents pulled up next to him, its door open against his body. There are at least four masked federal agents in full camouflage present, as well as at least one Chicago police officer. 

In the video, bystanders can be heard screaming for help and insisting, "He didn't do anything!"

The manager was eventually handcuffed, put in the federal agents' vehicle and driven away. What prompted the arrest was not immediately clear.

An elementary school in Wicker Park has gone on soft lockdown after reports of ICE agents in the neighborhood.

A.N. Pritzker Elementary School sent a message to parents saying the move was made as a safety precaution and not due to an active emergency.

In the soft lockdown, all doors to the school remain locked and will not be opened to anyone until further notice. The daily schedule will continue as normal.

"Please know that these steps are being taken to ensure you feel safe and supported while you are here at school," principal Dr. Joenile Albert-Reese wrote.

More than a dozen members of Congress will be in Chicago on Friday morning to push back against the immigration crackdown happening across the state.

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and Mayor Brandon Johnson are among the lawmakers who are expected to attend. The list also includes U.S. Representative Pramila Jayapal, who is a ranking member of the immigration integrity, security and enforcement subcommittee, and representatives Jesus 'Chuy' Garcia, Delia Ramirez, Robin Kelly, and Danny Davis. 

They're calling the shadow hearing "Kidnapped and Disappeared: Trump's Assault on Chicago." Organizers said the goal is to dive into what they describe as President Trump's "unlawful and aggressive actions in Chicago." 

Witnesses will speak to what they call the personal trauma, constitutional violations, and labor implications of the immigration crackdown, which started about a month and a half ago.

Leaders from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights and the ACLU of Illinois will also be in attendance.

Federal agents detained a teenager who was on his way to school Thursday morning when he got a rapid response call for immigration actions in Little Village.

Four students were together on their way to Benito Juarez High School in Pilsen but no one ever made it there. One of the students was detained in Little Village, while another was apparently hurt in a scuffle with officers.

Neighbors shared video on social media of what is believed to be a junior from Benito Juarez fighting to get out of the hands of federal agents Thursday morning in Little Village.  

Lawyers representing the father of a young cancer patient who was detained by federal agents are asking for his release.  

Rueben Torres was taken into custody near a Niles Home Depot on Saturday. His 16-year-old daughter Ofelia Torres is being treated for a cancer that develops in skeletal muscles. 

Her father's layers argued before a judge that he should be set free. Torres' attorneys say he is Mexican national who has been in the country since March 2003.

CBP Commander Gregory Bovino is accused of violating a temporary restraining order blocking federal agencies from using certain tactics to suppress protests or prevent media coverage of immigration enforcement operations in Illinois.

The same group of journalists and first amendment advocates that obtained the TRO earlier in October filed a notice of alleged violation to U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis after Bovino was caught on video throwing at least one canister of tear gas during a confrontation between federal agents and protesters in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood.

In their filing, the plaintiffs include a screenshot from the same video, and say it shows Bovino throw "either one or two tear gas canisters over the heads of armed federal agents in front of him and in the direction of a crowd of individuals protesting, including an individual filming the encounter."

The plaintiffs argue this violates "multiple paragraphs" of the court's Oct. 9 order, which prohibits federal agents from arresting, threatening to arrest or using physical force against journalists unless there is probable cause to believe the individual has committed a crime. It also prohibits them from issuing crowd dispersal orders, without exigent circumstances, requiring people to leave a public place where they otherwise have a lawful right to be.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commander Gregory Bovino was caught on video throwing canisters of tear gas during the confrontation between federal agents and protesters in Little Village today.

Bovino is now accused of violating a temporary restraining order issued by Judge Sara Ellis prohibiting him, CBP and other federal agencies in Operation Midway Blitz from using excessive force and chemical agents against civilians and media during their enforcement operations. 

The plaintiffs argue this violates "multiple paragraphs" of the court's Oct. 9 order, which prohibits federal agents from arresting, threatening to arrest or using physical force against journalists unless there is probable cause to believe the individual has committed a crime. It also prohibits them from issuing crowd dispersal orders, without exigent circumstances, requiring people to leave a public place where they otherwise have a lawful right to be.  

Chicago police said one person was arrested in Little Village near the Discount Mall Thursday morning during a confrontation between community members and federal agents.

Chicago police said they responded to multiple 911 calls to the area, including one from federal agents in need of assistance, at 10:15 a.m. When they arrived, officers and supervisors found a large crowd and said they worked to de-escalate the situation.

CPD emphasized officers were only on scene to maintain public safety through crowd control and traffic control areas. Once the area was safely cleared, officers left the scene.

One person was arrested for battering a CPD officer, police said.  

There were more clashes between federal agents and residents in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood Thursday morning.

Around 10 a.m., video posted on social media shows residents blowing whistles, honking horns and surrounding Customs and Border Protection agents at Little Village Discount Mall on 26th Street. Some of the protesters wore inflatable costumes.

In one of the videos the protesters can be heard yelling that they're all American citizens. At one point, the federal agents can be seen releasing canisters of tear gas and there are reports pepper spray was used as well.

At least one person was taken into custody in the video.

Chicago police were also on the scene for crowd control. They could be seen holding crowds back from the federal agents, and asking people to leave the area.

The area has since died down. How many people were arrested was not immediately clear.

A crash in Cicero sparked a standoff between federal agents and residents at 26th and Ogden.

Videos posted to Citizen showed the crash at 26th and Ogden, with federal agents on scene and traffic blocked.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents could be seen at the scene in the videos, with a growing number of civilians gathered there as well, many of them filming. People could be heard on the video using whistles to alert people nearby of the federal activity. CBP Chief Gregory Bovino was also spotted at the scene.

A court hearing on the fence at the Broadview ICE facility has been pushed back until December.

Attorneys for the city of Broadview and Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Walsh agreed the current situation at the facility can remain as-is and the case can be revisited in December, CNN reports.

A federal judge ordered federal authorities remove a makeshift fence they had erected at the facility that the city of Broadview said was impeding emergency service response. 

The next hearing is set for Dec. 6. 

Alderperson Jessie Fuentes, who represents the city's 26th Ward, has filed a federal claim against the government for damages after she was arrested by a federal agent at Humboldt Health Hospital earlier this month.

Fuentes' lawyer said the alderperson has filed a Federal Tort Claims Act administrative claim to demonstrate the importance of standing up and holding federal agencies accountable. She is seeking $100,000 in damages.   

A federal judge on Monday said the top Border Patrol agent in the ongoing immigration crackdown in the Chicago area must sit down to answer questions about agents' use of force during those operations, despite her order to use discretion when using chemical agents on protesters and journalists.

The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by a group of journalists, protesters, and clergy against the Trump administration, accusing federal agents of using excessive force and deploying chemical agents against peaceful protesters and journalists covering protests.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis said she was ordering depositions of Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino, Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Daniel Parra, and former ICE Chicago Field Office Director Russell Hott, allowing the plaintiffs attorneys to question them for up to two hours each regarding federal agents' use of force in the Chicago immigration enforcement operation.

Ellis said the questions in those depositions will be limited to agents' tactics in the field during Operation Midway Blitz, not to the reasoning for the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in the Chicago area.

Her ruling came after she spent hours questioning two other top immigration officials - Customs and Border Protection deputy incident commander Kyle Harvick and ICE deputy field office director Shawn Byers

Attorneys for the state of Illinois and the City of Chicago on Monday asked the Supreme Court to keep in place a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops in Illinois.

The 46-page filing came in response to a request from the Trump administration on Friday, asking the nation's highest court to allow the troop deployment by freezing a lower court order that blocked the Trump administration from ordering the deployment of National Guard troops in Illinois.

Bolingbrook residents are questioning claims made by police that two federal immigration agents were attacked while making an arrest Sunday morning. Now neighbors are concerned local police and agents are working together, which is in violation of Illinois law.

"If it's true about what happened, then why aren't people being arrested then?" said one neighbor, who did not want to be identified.

The neighbor also expressed skepticism about the narrative of the incident village officials released.

"You're telling me that these two little petite girls were able to fight off ICE agents, which doesn't make sense to me," she said.

Two federal immigration agents were attacked while making an arrest Sunday morning in Bolingbrook in Chicago's southwest suburbs, police said.

Shortly before 10 a.m., Bolingbrook police responded to the 100 block of Williamsburg Lane for a report of a battery.

Police said two immigration agents told officers they were trying to arrest a 46-year-old man in a parking lot, when two females approached and began hitting them in the head.

The females and the man agents were arresting fled the scene and went inside a nearby home, police said.

The agents declined medical attention. No one was in custody Sunday afternoon.

CBS News Chicago reached out to the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for more information.

Several rideshare drivers were arrested by immigration agents on Saturday at the O'Hare International Airport rideshare parking lot.

It was the second immigration raid targeting rideshare drivers at O'Hare in little more than a week.

The Department of Homeland Security said 11 people were arrested at the O'Hare rideshare parking lot on Saturday morning.

Citizen app video shows federal agents patrolling a lot designated for rideshare drivers near O'Hare and interrogating several people.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security confirmed the incident, saying Border Patrol conducted a targeted operation near the parking lots at O'Hare, resulting in the arrest of 11 undocumented immigrants from Colombia, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Mongolia, Poland, Russia, Ukraine and Venezuela.

DHS did not provide names for the people who were arrested, but claimed they had criminal histories including domestic battery, DUI, and overstaying a visa. Officials also said some had a final order of removal requiring them to be deported.

Groups representing drivers said they are concerned.

"These are drivers that are essential to every single one of our communities," said Bailey Koch, a spokesperson for the Illinois Drivers Alliance, which represents rideshare drivers.

President Trump's administration asked the Supreme Court on Friday to allow the deployment of National Guard members in Illinois, teeing up a showdown over the president's power to send troops into jurisdictions over the objections of local authorities.

The Justice Department is asking the high court to freeze a lower court order that blocked the Trump administration from ordering the federalization and deployment of National Guard troops within Illinois. A U.S. appeals court on Thursday upheld the decision as to the deployment of service members, but allowed the Guard to remain under federal service while legal proceedings continue.

In a request for emergency relief, Solicitor General D. John Sauer said the order from a U.S. district court judge "countermands the exercise of the President's Commander-in-Chief authority and projects its own authority into the military chain of command."

He argued that forbidding the deployment of federalized Guard troops "eviscerates" Mr. Trump's decision to call into federal service 300 members of the Illinois National Guard to protect federal immigration officers and government property. The president also federalized up to 400 members of the Texas National Guard to assist in the Chicago area.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker denounced the move and called it "un-American to demand a governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will."

Pritzker wrote Friday on X that Illinois "will keep defending the sovereignty of our state."

The state of Illinois and the city of Chicago sued over the federalization of National Guard members, arguing that the directives are unlawful. The Trump administration has argued that courts cannot review the president's move.

The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights said ICE agents have been targeting schools and public buildings in the suburbs.

Thursday morning in Carpentersville, Illinois, ICIRR said at least 10 ICE vehicles surrounded Golfview Elementary while school was in session. Village officials said agents detained a dozen people outside the village hall Wednesday as well. 

The ICIRR also said multiple vehicles were at the parking lots of Elgin City Hall and police station. 

CBS News Chicago has reached out to DHS for more information. 

As protesters returned for their weekly demonstration outside the Broadview ICE facility, more were taken into custody Friday morning. 

This is the first major protest since the removal of a temporary fence at the facility by judge's orders.

At least four people had been taken into custody as of 9 a.m., including a female member of the clergy and a protester playing the accordion.

A federal appeals court on Thursday continued to block President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops within the Chicago area amid ongoing immigration protests, but allowed the service members to remain under federal control.

The three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit said in a unanimous decision that "the facts do not justify" Mr. Trump's actions in Illinois under the section of federal law known as Title 10, which the president has invoked to federalize National Guard troops to protect federal immigration personnel and government facilities in several cities.

Over the weekend, the 7th Circuit issued a preliminary order that temporarily blocked the deployment of Guard troops within Illinois, but allowed them to remain under federal control. Its decision Thursday maintains that posture, with the panel explaining its reasoning in an 18-page decision.

The Hanover Park Police Department said it hired Radule Bojovic in January "in full compliance with federal and state law."

"Before hiring Officer Bojovic, the VIllage confirmed that he was legally authorized by the federal government to work in the United States. At the time of his hire, Officer Bojovic presented the Village with a Work Authorization Card, which was issued by the federal government's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The card was valid and recently renewed."

Police also said Bojovich passed a full background check, including a reviw of his criminal history with both the Illinois State Police and FBI. They said a memo from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on Jan.5, 2024, confirmed his immigration status allows him to carry a firearm while on duty.

ICE agents arrested a Hanover Park police officer they have accused of being the U.S. illegally, overstaying his tourist visa from 2015, CNN confirmed Thursday.

The Department of Homeland Security said Radule Bojovic was "encountered during a targeted enforcement action" in ICE's immigration-focused operation in Illinois.

The Hanover Park Police Department shared a Facebook post in August announcing Bojovic's recent graduation from the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy.

CBS News Chicago has reached out to Hanover Park officials for more information. 

Federal immigration officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras, a judge said Thursday after seeing tear gas and other aggressive steps used against protesters.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis voiced concerns that her orders weren't being followed, and said she's "startled" seeing images of clashes between agents and the public.

"I live in Chicago if folks haven't noticed," she said. "And I'm not blind, right?"

A man said the two people detained from a red SUV, accused of ramming federal agents, in Chicago's East Side neighborhood before a tense standoff between the community and feds was ended with tear gas were targeted for being food vendors.

Jaime Perez said the two people detained from the red SUV on Tuesday, whom he calls Geraldo and Gina, both from Venezuela, are food vendors who worked for his fiancée. He said he believes they were targeted for being Hispanic vendors, as the same thing happened to his fiancée, Laura Murillo, who was detained nearly three weeks ago as she was selling tamales near 47th and Western. She is now held in Texas.

Perez says Geraldo was working at this food truck in South Deering when he found out about federal agents in the area. Employees at a nearby business confirmed that law enforcement visited their store on Wednesday morning, reviewing surveillance cameras for about half an hour.

Perez, however, said Geraldo left his location to pick up a coworker, Gina, about a mile away. He doesn't know what happened next, but says it's Geraldo's car caught on camera in a chase around the southeast side, and in a video of the crash.

Cook County's top judge has signed an order barring ICE from arresting people at courthouses. Cook County includes Chicago, which has seen a federal immigration crackdown in recent months.

Detaining residents outside court has been a common tactic for federal agents, who have been stationed outside county courthouses for weeks, making arrests and drawing crowds of protesters.

The order, which was signed Tuesday night and took effect Wednesday, bars the civil arrest of any "party, witness, or potential witness" while going to court proceedings. It includes arrests made inside courthouses and in parking lots, surrounding sidewalks and entryways.

A woman accused of ramming a car into federal agents before she was shot in the Brighton Park neighborhood in Chicago earlier this month has pleaded not guilty.

Marimar Martinez, 30, has been charged with assault of a federal employee. At her arraignment on Wednesday, she pleaded not guilty.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, on Oct. 4, Martinez was in a car that blocked Border Patrol agents near 39th and Kedzie.

The agents were rammed by vehicles and "boxed in by 10 cars," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

DHS said the agents were unable to move their vehicles and got out of the car, when they saw one of the drivers boxing them in had a gun, prompting the agents to open fire, shooting Martinez.

Prosecutors said Martinez drove off, but paramedics found her and her car at a repair shop about a mile away, at which point she was taken to a hospital.

Martinez's lawyers said the U.S. citizen was shot five times after reportedly warning neighbors about out-of-town law enforcement in the area. They said body camera footage contradicts the agents' version of events.

Her attorney said there was a rushed indictment in the case, and demanded a speedy trial.

If convicted, she faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.

Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, 21, who was in the car with Martinez, also has been charged with assault of a federal employee. He was due to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon. He was arrested outside his business a short time after the incident in Brighton Park.

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson called the ICE facility fence removal a "victory" for residents. 

"The law, including municipal law, applies even to the federal government," Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson said in a news release. "This is a victory for the rule of law in a country that is still a democracy. And it is a victory for Broadview residents and businesses who depend on their municipal government to assure public safety."    

A judge ordered that the riot fence must come down by 11:59 p.m. Tuesday. The fence was removed overnight, within an hour of the deadline. 

The fence outside the Broadview ICE facility has been taken down.  

A judge ordered that the riot fence must come down by 11:59 p.m. Tuesday. The fence was removed overnight, within an hour of the deadline. 

The fence was erected Sept. 23 outside the ICE facility on Beach Street in Broadview. For weeks, it has been a symbol of tension between federal authorities, protesters, and the Village of Broadview itself.

The Department of Homeland Security has said federal agents have made more than 1,500 arrests as part of the immigration crackdown in the Chicago area dubbed "Operation Midway Blitz," which began more than a month ago.

CBS News Chicago has been digging into federal data to find out exactly who is being arrested and if those numbers really line up.

In response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed months ago, asking for the names and numbers of people who'd been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Chicago, ICE referred CBS News Chicago to a data dashboard that tells a pretty interesting story.

The website shows the arrests cover not just people arrested in the Chicago area, but all of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kentucky, and Kansas – the six states covered by ICE's Chicago field office.

ICE said, between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30 – the last day they were able to update the portal before the federal government shutdown – they've arrested 2,011 people, detained about 1,500 of those individuals, and have removed (deported) just over half of those they've arrested in 2025.

The website indicates the data is updated quarterly, and is sorted by year. ICE noted the data could fluctuate until "locked" at the end of December.

Federal agents fired tear gas to disperse a crowd during a tense standoff on Chicago's far South Side Tuesday afternoon, before driving away from the confrontation.

The incident happened near 105h and Avenue N in the city's East Side neighborhood, near the Indiana border. 

Around 12:40 p.m. the agents deployed some sort of chemical agent or smoke bomb, sending the crowd scattering and giving the federal agents an opportunity to leave the area. CBS News Chicago reporter Sara Machi had just arrived at the scene and said the canisters that were deployed appeared to be tear gas, and the dispersal of the agent downwind and throughout the crowd sent most people scattering from the area. 

Chicago police remained at the scene, without the gas masks that federal agents had equipped before firing the tear gas, continuing to disperse the crowd after the tear gas was fired. Machi said she saw people throwing up, spitting and trying to get pepper spray and tear gas out of their eyes in the aftermath.

There is a standoff between a crowd and a group of federal agents on Chicago's far South Side.

The incident is taking place near 105h and Avenue N in the city's East Side neighborhood, near the Indiana border. 

As of 12:30 p.m., there appeared to be a crowd of about 50 to 75 people and a couple dozen officers. Several high-ranking Chicago police officers, identifiable by their white shirts, were also at the scene. 

Referred to as "the burrito" or "the bag," the WRAP has become a harrowing part of deportations for some immigrants.

The AP identified multiple examples of ICE using the black-and-yellow full-body restraint device, the WRAP, in deportations. Its use was described to the AP by five people who said they were restrained in the device, sometimes for hours, on ICE deportation flights dating to 2020. And witnesses and family members in four countries told the AP about its use on at least seven other people this year.

The AP found ICE has used the device despite internal concerns voiced in a 2023 report by the civil rights division of its parent agency, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, in part due to reports of deaths involving use of the WRAP by local law enforcement. And the AP has identified a dozen fatal cases in the last decade where local police or jailers around the U.S. used the WRAP and autopsies determined "restraint" played a role in the death.

The WRAP is the subject of a growing number of federal lawsuits likening incorrect usage of the device to punishment and even torture, whether used in a jail or by immigration authorities during international flights. Among advocates' concerns is that ICE is not tracking the WRAP's use as required by federal law when officers use force.

A deadline was looming Tuesday morning for the fence surrounding the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in the west Chicago suburb of Broadview.

A judge ordered that the riot fence must come down by 11:59 p.m. Tuesday. But new barriers went up on Monday, and they are drawing criticism too.

The fence was erected Sept. 23 outside the ICE facility on Beach Street in Broadview. For weeks, it has been a symbol of tension between federal authorities, protesters, and the Village of Broadview itself.

On Monday, Illinois Department of Transportation crews installed new concrete barriers outside facility — adding another layer to what many already call a "fortress."

Mayor Thompson said the barriers are meant to keep protesters safe and protect residents when demonstrations spill into the street.

A teen in Hoffman Estates was thrown to the ground by what appeared to be a federal agent, and she and two of her friends were detained for hours before they were released over the weekend.

Her parents are speaking out after they say their daughter, 18-year-old Evelyn, is still shaken from the experience.

Evelyn's parents said her boyfriend got a call that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was in his neighborhood. They went to warn people who live there and recorded the officers. This led to a violent arrest, Homeland Security said they did not take part in.

In a pot on X, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin commented on Evelyn's arrest video, saying, "Imagine being so desperate to demonize law enforcement you post a video from a burglary arrest Chicago police made over a year ago. This isn't even ICE."

Hoffman Estates police, however, said ICE was in the area on Friday. 

A statement sent to CBS News Chicago reads in part, "The only interaction we had with ICE was when they came to the police department to file a police report reference an incident that occurred during their enforcement. They ultimately decided to complete the report this week with us and have not completed that yet."

On Monday, U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Illinois) came to the ICE facility in west suburban Broadview along with former U.S. Rep. Luis Gutiérrez. Krishnamoorthi spoke there about the teenager's detainment.

He said the post from the DHS official on the incident "spread misinformation," and he called for transparency in that incident and others.

"This has got to end. ICE is acting out of control at this point, and they need to be held accountable," Krishnamoorthi said. "They need to be held accountable to their citizenry, who don't appreciate what's going on at all."

Krishnamoorthi also criticized DHS for not allowing him inside the Broadview ICE facility Monday. He said if people are being detained inside, he should be allowed to enter without notice under the Appropriations Law.

Forest Park Mayor Rory Hoskins is demanding accountability after he said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained U.S. citizens using excessive force at Concordia Cemetery last week.

Forest Park officials say federal agents then came into the cemetery, which is private property, and detained the workers for hours. Officials said the agents used physical force and pepper balls on them.

CBS News Chicago has reached out to DHS officials for comment and are waiting to hear back.   

Local leaders from Chicago's western suburbs gathered outside a Broadview, Illinois U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing center Monday, decrying the actions of federal agents and demanding the removal of a riot fence outside the facility.

A federal judge last week approved a request to remove the fence put up outside the ICE facility. Broadview officials had sued, saying the fence — put up on Sept. 23 — blocked a public road and could impact first responders at the scene.

Both sides originally were given until 2 p.m. Friday to agree on a plan to remove the fence. Friday afternoon, the judge issued an agreed-upon order requiring the Trump administration to dismantle and remove the fence by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday.

At the news conference, Illinois House Speaker Emanuel "Chris" Welch (D-Westchester), whose 7th House District includes the Broadview ICE facility, said he and other local leaders stood with Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson "unequivocally."

"We are here today because Broadview is strong, and it's going to stay strong," Welch said.

Welch called the fence "a symbol of Donald Trump's contempt for this community and so many like it." He compared the fence outside the Broadview ICE facility to the Berlin Wall.

"Just as the Berlin Wall did in 1961, this fence stands as a symbol of division," Welch said. "This fence is a symbol of dividing families. This fence is a symbol of dividing communities. This fence is a symbol of dividing Americans, and this fence is a symbol of denying Americans constitutional rights."

Also at the news conference, Bellwood Mayor Andre Harvey also called on the federal government to comply with the court order and take down the wall, and to treat local residents and business owners with the same respect as they would for members of their own communities.

"The growing federal presence in Proviso Township has affected communities within our region, creating tension and uncertainty where there should be trust and collaboration," Harvey said. "President Trump and his allies have shown clear disrespect for Broadview and for many other communities just like it."

Soon after the news conference, U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Illinois) tried to gain access to the ICE facility, accompanied by former U.S. Rep. Luis Gutiérrez.

The Village of Broadview, Illinois announced Monday morning that it is shrinking the zone where protesters are allowed to gather outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing center in the west Chicago suburb.

In a statement, Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson said she decided on the restriction after protests outside the facility on Saturday night "degenerated into chaos."

"There were 15 arrests, and 10 of those were around the age of my own daughter. As a mother and a mayor, I am mad at what happened," Thompson said in the statement. "Broadview didn't choose to have the ICE facility in our community. But it's here. And so are Broadview residents."

Thompson wrote that some of the protesters have been making life difficult for Broadview residents.

"There are too many protesters are raising their fists rather than their voices, creating chaos at the expense of the people who call Broadview home," she wrote. "Broadview residents lack the protestors' privilege to return to calm, quiet neighborhoods for undisturbed rest."

For that reason, Thompson said she has signed a new executive order in consultation with Illinois State Police and the Cook County Sheriff's office, which will permit protests only in the safety zone at the ICE facility on Beach Street. Protests will no longer be allowed at 2000 S. 25th Ave. between Lexington and Fillmore streets, Thompson wrote.

After a federal appeals court this past weekend blocked the deployment of National Guard troops in the Chicago area, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker was asked what would happen if President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act.

If President Trump does so, it would grant him more power over the National Guard and where its troops can be deployed.

"Well, the Insurrection Act is called the Insurrection Act for a reason," Pritzker said on ABC News' "This Week." "There has to be a rebellion. There has to be an insurrection in order for him to be allowed to invoke it. Again, he can say anything he wants. But if the Constitution means anything — and I guess we are all questioning that right now, but the courts will make the determination — if the Constitution means anything, the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked to send them in because they want to fight crime."

On Saturday, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling from U.S. District Judge April Perry earlier in the week denying a request from the White House to deploy National Guard troops on the streets of Chicago in response to a lawsuit brought by the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago. 

However, it granted a request from the Trump administration to temporarily keep those National Guard troops under federal control, issuing an administrative stay to Perry's earlier ruling on the federalization issue.

Local elected officials were set to work Monday to develop plans that address national issues impacting Chicago communities — including raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Chicago-area mayors and state representatives were to gather Monday morning to discuss large-scale immigration raids, call for an end to the federal government shutdown, and challenge Republican-led redistricting efforts across the country.

Organizers said their goal is to create strategies to address the issues.

The meeting will be held at 10 a.m. Monday in Schaumburg.

Also at 10 a.m. Monday, community leaders and elected officials will gather near the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois. Leaders said they will be on the scene to condemn how federal agents are blocking streets and deploying chemical weapons during protests.

For several weeks, there have been demonstrations at the blockaded street outside the ICE facility, near Beach and Lexington streets.

Churchgoers were left leery of leaving their parish, and some parents canceled their kids' soccer games Sunday — with concerns spreading after another weekend of federal law enforcement efforts and the federal government vowing there will be more.

"We are deploying additional resources to apprehend rioters and Antifa members engaged in domestic terrorism," Micah Bock, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Strategic Communications for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said in a new social media video.

In the Sunday post to social media, the Department of Homeland Security leaders vowed "DHS is increasing operations in Portland, Chicago, and across our nation."

Rapid response volunteers were organizing outside St. Jerome Catholic Church in Rogers Park hours after an ICE sighting caused morning parishioners to stay inside.

A federal appeals court Saturday blocked the deployment of National Guard troops in the Chicago area amid ongoing protests at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities that the Trump administration has vowed to crack down on. The court ruled, however, that the National Guard troops can remain under federal control.

The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling from U.S. District Judge April Perry earlier this week denying a request from the White House to deploy National Guard troops on the streets of Chicago.

Senator Dick Durbin, along with local officials, will join religious leaders in Broadview on Saturday morning. 

Catholic priests, nuns, and members of the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership will gather at St. Eulalia Church in Maywood at 10:30 a.m., before walking to the Broadview ICE detention facility. 

Organizers said the goal is to attempt to deliver Holy Communion to the people detained in the facility.  

Durbin will speak at a service. 

Of the 50,000 runners participating in the Chicago Marathon on Sunday, 3,000 are from Mexico - the largest contingent of runners from outside the U.S.

The Mexican Consulate in Chicago is among many organizations hosting a cheer zone along the marathon route.

"This year it feels different," said Reyna Torres Medivil, the Consul General of Mexico in Chicago.

The agency said it has received calls and emails from runners and their family and friends voicing concerns about ICE enforcement while they're in Chicago. The agency is telling people visiting from Mexico to have copies of their documentation on their person.

"We have been advising them that they should carry a photograph of their passports in their telephones, but also perhaps a photocopy in your pocket. It's better to be safe," Torres Medivil said.

Federal agents detained several rideshare drivers on Friday at a parking lot at O'Hare International Airport, the latest target in immigration enforcement across Chicago.

Witnesses said agents came in two waves at the Transportation Network Provider – or TNP – Alpha lot on Friday; once in the morning and again in the afternoon. The TNP lot is a designated area for rideshare drivers to park and wait for clients at the airport.

Video obtained by CBS News Chicago showed agents interrogating and detaining drivers.

One Uber driver from Guatemala said he was eating lunch when agents walked up to him and asked him if he was a U.S. citizen. The driver said he was nervous but rebuffed the agents' request.

 "You know, I cannot help you, please let me eat my food," the driver said he told the agents.

 The agents walked away, the man said, but other people were detained and taken away.

 Another driver, Jack, recounted what happened and described the scene as chaotic.

 "Just grabbing people, checking IDs. They arrested like, what I seen, a bunch of people. They had vans and stuff like that," he said.

CBS News Chicago reached out to the Department of Homeland Security asking about the incident but has not yet heard back.

Two women were arrested by ICE agents on Friday in front of a Chicago elementary school near the University of Illinois at Chicago campus on the West Side.

Several officers, some of them wearing face coverings, forcibly removed one woman from her car. 

The arrest was caught on video, and you can hear the woman say, "They do not have a warrant. They forcefully opened the door."

There was also another woman in the car. 

The Department of Homeland Security accused the two women of stalking an ICE vehicle and trying to impede another targeted operation before pulling over in front of the school and resisting arrest.

DHS did not provide the women's names, or say if they face any federal charges.  

Broadview officials said the fence — put up on Sept. 23 outside the ICE facility on Beach Street — blocked a public road and could impact first responders at the scene.

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson said the judge's ruling is "validation of local law and, most importantly, a decisive win for public safety." 

Both sides originally were given until 2 p.m. Friday to agree on a plan to remove the fence. Friday afternoon, the judge issued an agreed-upon order requiring the Trump administration to dismantle and remove the fence by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday.

Charges against a veteran who was arrested protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview have been downgraded.

U.S. Air Force veteran Dana Briggs was among five people arrested outside the facility last month. He was accused of making contact with a federal agent while handing his cell phone to another protester as he was taken into custody.

He was initially charged with felony assaulting or resisting federal agents, but the charges were downgraded at a court appearance Friday to a misdemeanor.

U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth will visit the Broadview ICE facility Friday afternoon.

The Democrats from Illinois said they are visiting in response to multiple oversight requests to determine the conditions inside the facility and to investigate tactics used by federal agents against protesters, media and others outside the facility. 

The senators are expected to arrive at the facility around 12:30 p.m.

Broadview, Illinois, police have handcuffed at several protesters outside the ICE facility on Friday morning. 

Over 50 people are protesting peacefully outside the facility. 

Broadview police were joined by Maywood police, deputies from the Cook County Sheriff's Office, and Illinois State Police troopers. It is not clear why there is an added police presence at the facility. 

There were two areas with demonstrators earlier in the morning, some in areas outside of the protest zones. They were also present at the facility outside of the hours Broadview police set for protesting. 

So far, no ICE agents and National Guard troops have been seen outside the facility. 

CBS News Chicago reached out to officials regarding National Guard troops at the facility. 

A federal judge approved a request to remove the fence put up by ICE agents outside the Broadview, Illinois ICE facility.

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson called the ruling "validation of local law" and a "decisive win for public safety."   

The fence was put up by ICE agents on  Sept. 23. Broadview officials sued, saying the fence blocked the public road. 

A federal judge on Thursday granted a temporary restraining order to block the Trump administration's deployment of National Guard troops in Illinois. 

In a ruling from the bench, U.S. District Judge April Perry said no National Guard units may be deployed in Illinois for the next 14 days. A full written ruling will be published on Friday, and Perry said she expects her order will be appealed.

The ruling means National Guard units already sent to the Chicago area cannot operate on the mission they were sent for, to protect federal agents and facilities in Illinois, including a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Broadview, where 45 soldiers arrived overnight.

While the restraining order remains in effect for 14 days, the Trump administration had moved to deploy troops in Illinois for at least 60 days, so it's very possible both sides will be back in court before the restraining order expires.

Perry said her decision came down to a "credibility determination," and she found the Department of Homeland Security's assessment of recent events in the Chicago area to be unreliable.

Lawyers for the state of Illinois and the federal government gave opening statements before being questioned for hours by Judge Perry. Many of her questions focused on what exactly the National Guard would be authorized to do in their capacity of "protecting" federal property and federal agents. 

Judge Perry admitted the open-ended nature of the president's order is cause for concern. 

The federal government's attorneys argued repeatedly that the president's judgment in deciding to federalize the National Guard in Illinois is not reviewable by the courts, and declined to articulate clear parameters on the guard's orders because the situation is fluid. They said orders issued would be tailored to the needs of the moment. 

Would they be limited to protecting ICE? The attorney for the government said probably. When Judge Perry asked if the guard might go into neighborhoods, hospitals and schools, the attorney said there is a vetting process but didn't describe it. 

Could they help any federal agency? The government's attorney answered, "I actually don't know the answer to that."

And the big question: Will they be fighting crime in Chicago? "

Certainly to an extent," the Trump administration's attorney said. "The mission, again, is a federal protection one."

Forty-five members of the Texas National Guard were at the Broadview ICE facility ahead of Thursday's hearing. In the state's opening argument, they mentioned internal communications from the person in charge at Broadview said "the situation was under control."  

Perry adjourned court until 4:30 p.m. CT, at which time she may issue her ruling, though she did not say she will for certain. The exact timing of when a decision will be made is not clear.   

Speaking at a separate event before the hearing over Illinois' and Chicago's joint lawsuit to block the deployment of the National Guard, Mayor Brandon Johnson lamented the need to sue at all. 

"It's a sad state of America when reporters have to go to court to not get shot at by the federal government," he said. "That we have to go to court so that teachers can run their classroom and that students can get inside safely and that we can protect them from chemical agents. That we have to go to court to protect the people of our city."

A judge is set to rule on a lawsuit filed by the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago seeking to prevent the National Guard from being deployed by the federal government over their objections. 

 Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul argues in the suit, filed Monday, that "Defendants' deployment of federalized troops to Illinois is patently unlawful." He continues, "Plaintiffs ask this court to halt the illegal, dangerous, and unconstitutional federalization of members of the National Guard of the United States, including both the Illinois and Texas National Guard." 

The judge initially declined to grant an emergency temporary restraining order in the hours after the lawsuit was filed, instead giving the federal government until Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. CT to file their response.

They did so with moments to spare, in a 59-page filing that argues President Trump has the legal authority to deploy the troops and that state objections should not block the operation. 

Attorneys for the federal government also argued the courts should be "highly deferential" when reviewing a president's judgment, saying it's within the scope of the authority the executive branch is given by the Constitution and statutes.

The hearing is scheduled for 11 a.m. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. 

Broadview, Illinois, officials specifically confirmed 45 Texas National Guard troops arrived overnight at the local ICE facility.

In a news release, the Village of Broadview described the troops as "45 tired Texans."

"Three vans with approximately 45 Texas National Guard soldiers arrived at the ICE facility in the Village of Broadview late last night.  During their patrols, Broadview police officers observed the vans parked in the rear of 2000 25th Ave., and all of the guards were sleeping. We let them sleep undisturbed," the village said. "We hope that they will extend the same courtesy in the coming days to Broadview residents who deserve a good night's sleep, too."

National Guard troops arrived overnight at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, Illinois, the village announced Thursday morning.

A village spokesperson confirmed around 7:45 a.m. that the National Guard was on the scene.

Broadview Mayor Karen Katrina Thompson issued a letter to the Broadview community on saying the presence of the "heavily armed" National Guard members would turn the ICE facility "into a military fortress, within shooting distance of Broadview residents' homes and businesses."

"This is about a military occupation of Broadview," Thompson wrote. "This is about intimidation."

Video shows what appear to be troops arriving at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, Illinois overnight Wednesday into Thursday.

In the video, men in uniform are seen arriving with luggage and shields going past a temporary riot fence and inside the main door of the ICE facility on Beach Street in Broadview. This was around 1 a.m.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security did not immediately confirm that the people seen in the video were National Guard troops.

A spokesperson with the Department of Homeland Security responded to CBS News reporting on Marimar Martinez, who was shot by a federal agent amid the alleged ramming of an agent's vehicle in Brighton Park.

The attorney representing Martinez told CBS News that body camera footage from one of three agents involved contradicts the official DHS account of the incident.

"There were three officers in the car, all had body cameras, but only one was activated," the attorney said. "We have that video ... there are things on it that we argue differ from the official narrative."

The attorney said a protective order currently prevents the release of that footage, but he plans to introduce it as evidence at a preliminary hearing Friday, at which point it would be available as part of the public record. 

A DHS spokesperson told CBS News Wednesday, "There is currently an ongoing case against this individual for trying to injure our law enforcement, but she clearly has an agenda. We would refer you to the DOJ for updates on the case."

Martinez's attorney said her injuries were "severe," and that they "counted seven holes in her body," and said that Martinez did not know the other person arrested during the same operation.

Federal prosecutors have dismissed charges against three protesters arrested outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview on the same day last month.

A grand jury refused to indict a Chicago couple, Jocelyn Robledo and Ray Collins, after they were originally charged in a criminal complaint with felony counts of assaulting of a federal officer.

The couple was accused of assaulting and resisting federal agents on Sept. 27 after they "refused to retreat" when agents tried to push back the perimeter around the ICE facility in Broadview due to the size of the crowd of protesters.

Robledo, 30, was accused of shoving agents and Collins, 31, was accused of charging at agents and yelling at them to get away from his fiancée after he saw the scuffle. The feds claimed Collins injured an ATF agent's thumb in the scuffle.

Prosecutors said both of them were also carrying guns at the time.

After their arrest, a federal judge released Robledo from custody, but ordered Collins held for bringing a loaded gun to a protest. Another judge later reversed that decision and allowed Collins to be released on bond, noting he had no criminal history.

At a hearing in their case on Wednesday, federal prosecutors informed a judge that a grand jury had decided not to indict the couple, so the government decided to drop all charges.

Meantime, federal prosecutors also dropped misdemeanor charges against 21-year-old Hubert Mazur, who was accused of forcibly resisting officers trying to push back the crowd on the same day Collins and Robledo were arrested. Federal prosecutors said, after reviewing additional body camera footage from the protest, they decided to drop all charges against Mazur.

Approximately 500 National Guard soldiers have arrived in the Chicago area, positioned to mobilize to protect federal agents and facilities, amid a legal battle over their deployment.

According to the U.S. Northern Command at the Department of Defense, approximately 200 soldiers from the Texas National Guard and 300 soldiers from the Illinois National Guard have been mobilized for 60 days.

Northern Command said as part of their duties to protect federal agents and facilities, the troops would be assigned to establish security perimeters, perform crowd control, and use de-escalation tactics. While soldiers would be allowed to temporarily detain people to prevent an assault or interference with federal agents, Northern Command said they will not be arresting protesters.

There have been a handful of demonstrations outside the facility on Wednesday; a couple to protest against the arrival of Texas guard members, a couple more to support them.

There has been little movement in or out of the training facility since the troops arrived, and CBS News Chicago legal analyst Irv Miller said he's not surprised.

It remains in question whether the troops will be sent out on protection details, as the state of Illinois and city of Chicago have filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's deployment of the National Guard. Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson have argued there is no crisis requiring the troops' presence in the Chicago area.

A federal judge has scheduled a hearing for Thursday to hear arguments on a request for a temporary restraining order blocking the troop deployment. The judge declined to immediately issue that restraining order on Monday when the lawsuit was filed to give the federal government time to file briefs.

Miller said it's likely leaders are waiting for the judge's decision before making any moves.

"Oh, absolutely. I mean, the judge didn't explicitly state that they couldn't come into the city, but I think if you read between the lines as to what she was saying, that it probably would be a good idea if everybody waited until she made the decision on Thursday to decide what they're going to actually do," Miller said.

Miller said he expects the judge to grant the temporary restraining order prohibiting the deployment for now, but any decision will likely be appealed to a higher court.

A federal judge's ruling is a legal win for people wrongfully arrested in recent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol sweeps.

The ruling extends a consent decree that further limits ICE's ability to arrest people without warrants or probable cause. Those arrests include Abel Orozco Ortega of west suburban Lyons, Illinois, and hundreds of other people taken off the streets by federal agents without warrants or probable cause.

The consent decree will remain in effect until at least Feb. 2, 2026.

A soccer match between Argentina and Puerto Rico, originally scheduled for next week in Chicago, has been relocated to Florida amid the immigration crackdown in the city, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday.  

The friendly match was supposed to be played on Oct. 13 at Soldier Field in Chicago but will be moved to Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, the home stadium of Argentina and Inter Miami star Lionel Messi.  

National Guard troops from Texas woke up at the U.S. Army Reserve Center in the southwest Chicago suburb of Elwood Wednesday morning — as a legal battle plays out over their deployment in Illinois.

The State of Illinois argues there is no crisis that requires the troops' presence.

Sources said the Texas National Guard members are expected to begin their duties in the Chicago area before the ruling in the state's lawsuit, which is expected on Thursday.

The source said the Illinois National Guard, which has been federalized and is also expected to be deployed to patrol in the Chicago area, will wait until after the ruling to hit the field.

At the Elwood Army Reserve Center, several trailers were set up as temporary living quarters. Several soldiers were seen moving in with bags of belongings; some holding rifles and carrying folding chairs, possibly for meetings or other trainings. Fencing was also put up around the facility late Tuesday.

Illinois state leaders said they only got word late Monday night that the 200 Texas National Guard troops would be stationed at the Elwood base.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker issued a statement on X in response to President Trump's post saying both he and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson "should be in jail" for "failing to protect" U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

"I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?" Pritzker wrote.

Pritzker continued in a thread of X posts: "His masked agents already are grabbing people off the street. Separating children from their parents. Creating fear. Taking people for 'how they look.' Making people feel they need to carry citizenship papers. Invading our state with military troops. Sending in war helicopters in the middle of the night. Arresting elected officials asking questions."

Mayor Johnson also posted to X.

"This is not the first time Trump has tried to have a Black man unjustly arrested," he wrote. "I'm not going anywhere."

In a TruthSocial post on Wednesday, President Trump said Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker "should be in jail."

"Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement]" Officers!" President Trump posted. "Governor Pritzker also!"

Congress Plaza

Local groups will join the Coalition Against the Trump Agenda to protest the deployment of the National Guard on Wednesday night. 

The protest will be held at Congress Plaza, near Ida B Wells and Michigan Avenue, at 5:30 p.m. Demonstrators will then march through The Loop. 

Group leaders say they're fighting back against the illegal occupation of Chicago by President Trump.

Broadview ICE Facility 

A group of veterans will be among a group of protesters expected to return to the Broadview ICE facility. 

They say they'll be outside the ice facility from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. for a "silent demonstration."

Roughly 200 members of the Texas National Guard will deploy to Chicago this week, sources familiar with the operation told CBS News.

Members of the Texas National Guard are expected to begin their assignments in Chicago as soon as Wednesday, ahead of the federal court hearing on Thursday, after receiving an operational brief.

Members of the National Guard will be assigned to the protection of federal facilities and federal law enforcement personnel, including the ICE facility in the west Chicago suburb of Broadview, and in downtown Chicago.

With members of the Texas National Guard mobilizing, and possibly already in the Chicago area, Mayor Brandon Johnson said he hasn't heard from the Trump administration about when or where they will actually be deployed.

The mayor called the Trump administration's efforts unconscionable and had a message for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

"The governor of Texas should be worried about Texas. Why he all up in my business? Focus on Texas," Johnson said.

A federal judge on Monday declined for now to issue a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops in Illinois.

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, who filed the lawsuit seeking the temporary restraining order, said the deployment of troops would cause "additional unrest" and increased "mistrust of police."

In court on Monday, Trump administration lawyers couldn't provide logistical details for the deployment, like which specific cities troops would be deployed to.

FBI Director Kash Patel said he's headed to Chicago. In a post on X, Patel wrote, "Chicago will be saved, and this FBI will continue to crush violent crime there, and all around the country. Heading to the Windy City now."

The Texas National Guard was deploying on Tuesday, but their destination was unclear.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott posted a photo to X Monday evening with a caption reading, "The elite Texas National Guard. Ever ready. Deploying now." The photo shows Texas National Guard members boarding a plane.

On Sunday evening, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said President Trump had ordered National Guard members from Texas to be deployed to Illinois.

CBS News Chicago legal analyst Irv Miller said he expects a legal challenge to the Trump administration's plan to deploy National Guard troops in Illinois to play out the same way as in Portland, Oregon, where a federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from deploying any National Guard units for now.

Saturday morning, two men appearing to be U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents stopped in the middle of the street, blocking traffic near 63rd and Kostner, and approached a white car. What happened next was all caught on video.  

Two men grab another man rom behind a car and take him to the ground. At one point, the man the agents grabbed appeared to be on all fours and an agent wound up on his back. The man appeared to grab one of the agent's radios and throw it toward a bystander.

Moments later, an agent tried to zip-tie his hands, but the man tossed those away.

A crowd gathered, shouting for the agents to stop.

The video later shows the agents suddenly release the man before they drive off. It's unclear why they let him go.

"Along the way, in trying to take him into custody they discovered they didn't have the basis to do it – somebody may have been challenging them at the scene," said Dr. Arthur Lurigio, a criminology professor at Loyola University.

Lurigio said the agents didn't appear to be properly trained on how to detain a suspect. He also pointed to another problem: one of the agents was dressed in plain clothes, not a uniform.

While a judge Monday declined to issue a temporary restraining order after Illinois and Chicago sued to block the deployment of the National Guard here, she did have a stern warning for the government.

"If I were the federal government, I'd take a pause on this," she told lawyers representing the Trump administration in court.

The judge gave the Department of Justice until 12 a.m. Wednesday to file their response to the lawsuit, which she noted is more than 500 pages long. The next hearing is scheduled for Thursday.

In court it was revealed Texas National Guard troops were already on their way to Illinois, and Illinois National Guard troops had also already been called up. They were expected to be in place Tuesday or Wednesday, according to the DOJ.

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson on Monday announced an executive order setting fixed protest hours outside the ICE processing center.

Thompson's order limits protests outside the ICE facility at 1930 Beach Street and the designated protest area at 2000 S. 25th Av. to between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily.

According to the order, the mayor decided to set a limit on protest times "due to the recent escalation of violence by ICE" outside the facility, including "needlessly deploying tear gas, pepper spray, mace, and rubber bullets at individuals and reporters, thereby injuring Village residents, Village police officers, and Village firefighters."

The mayor said the order is needed to balance the constitutional rights of protesters with the needs of Broadview residents and businesses.

"People have to go to work, they have to get their children ready for school, our businesses have to serve their customers, and our residents with developmental disabilities, who have sensory issues, have suffered emotional meltdowns because of the chaotic environment when protests get disruptive," said Thompson. "I have repeatedly said that I intend to defend the protesters' constitutionally protected free speech rights. I support their cause. But the repeated clashes with ICE agents in our town are causing enormous disruptions in the quality of life for my residents whose rights I have taken an oath to protect. We live here. Our residents live here and deserve dignity and respect."

Thompson said that, on Saturday night, a "very aggressive crowd of protesters" got out of control, and shut down 25th Avenue outside the ICE facility, and tried to block the nearby Eisenhower Expressway as well.

"We had over 60 state troopers helping and we had to seek additional assistance from other local police departments who rushed to Broadview to help. And Broadview residents had to suffer through that mayhem," Thompson said.

Thompson said she would explain her decision further during a village board meeting Monday evening.

The state of Illinois and city of Chicago have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to block deployment of the National Guard.

"The American people, regardless of where they reside, should not live under the threat of occupation by the United States military, particularly not simply because their city or state leadership has fallen out of a president's favor," the lawsuit states in its introduction.

In the lawsuit, which names both the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago as plaintiffs, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul writes, "Defendants' deployment of federalized troops to Illinois is patently unlawful." He continues, "Plaintiffs ask this court to halt the illegal, dangerous, and unconstitutional federalization of members of the National Guard of the United States, including both the Illinois and Texas National Guard." 

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order Monday morning prohibiting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal agencies from using city property for civil immigration enforcement.

The order prohibits federal authorities from using city-owned or controlled parking lots, vacant lots and garages as staging areas, processing locations or operations bases for civil immigration enforcement activity.

The order applies to all city-owned and city-controlled parking lots, garages and vacant lots, including Chicago Public Schools property, CBS News Chicago confirmed.

Additionally, the order supports private property owners, tenants and institutions to deny access to ICE and other federal agents working on immigration enforcement unless they can produce a warrant. 

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said on Sunday evening that President Trump has ordered National Guard members from Texas to be deployed to Illinois.

In a statement, Pritzker said 400 members of the Texas National Guard will be deployed to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the U.S.  

"No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate. We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion," Pritzker said in the statement. "It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops."

Pritzker said he called Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for and to refuse to coordinate.

"There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation. The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness." Pritzker said in the statement.

In response, Abbott said he "fully authorized" the deployment of his state's troops "to ensure safety for federal officials."

"You can either fully enforce protection for federal employees or get out of the way and let Texas Guard do it," the Republican governor said on X.

Several U.S. representatives on Sunday joined neighbors outside the South Shore apartment building that was the subject of an overnight raid earlier this week.

On Saturday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem shared a heavily produced video of that raid by federal agents. 

Elected officials met to outline their plans moving forward.   

Across the board, a united condemnation of the raid in South Shore and wider actions seen from the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.

Neighbors said they're concerned about what happened in their building and to their neighbors. Some of them invited the elected officials inside to see some of the damage left behind after doors were forcibly opened and residents removed from units.

A man and woman were facing charges Sunday after authorities said they rammed and boxed in federal agents in the Brighton Park neighborhood the day before.

In the incident near Kedzie Avenue and Pershing Road on Saturday, patrolling agents were rammed by vehicles and "boxed in by 10 cars" according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

DHS said the agents were unable to move their vehicles and got out of the car. According to DHS officials, one of the drivers of a car boxing them in had a gun, which the agency said was a semi-automatic weapon. DHS said the agents opened fire, striking the driver, who they said is a woman. 

Federal prosecutors said the agent fired about five shots at the woman. Prosecutors said she drove off, but paramedics found her and her car at a repair shop about a mile away, at which point she was taken to a hospital.

A spokesperson for Sinai Health System said the woman was later released from the hospital.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois and the FBI announced Sunday that the woman — Marimar Martinez, 40, of Chicago — was charged with forcibly assaulting, impeding, and interfering with a federal law enforcement officer.

A later statement said as ICE agents were responding to the shooting, someone followed them and rammed their vehicle "in an attempt to run them off the road." This person was arrested and was in the custody of U.S. Homeland Security Investigations last Saturday, DHS said.

Prosecutors said the man — Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, 21, Chicago — faces the same charges at Martinez. Prosecutors alleged he drove away after the collisions with federal agents' vehicles in Brighton Park, but was found by law enforcement with his car at a gas station about half a block away,

CBS News on Sunday obtained a memo calling up to 300 Illinois National Guard troops into federal service.

The memo from the Pentagon to the Illinois National Guard adjutant general read:

"On October 4, 2025, the President of the United States called forth at least 300 National Guard personnel into Federal service pursuant to section 12406 of title 10, U.S. Code, to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Federal Protective Service, and other U.S.

"Government personnel who are performing Federal functions, including the enforcement of Federal law, and to protect Federal property, at locations where violent demonstrations against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur based on current threat assessments and planned operations.

"This memorandum further implements the President's direction. Up to 300 members of the Illinois National Guard will be called into Federal service effective immediately for a period of 60 days. The Chief of the National Guard Bureau will immediately coordinate the details of the mobilization with you, in coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Commander, U.S. Northem Command. The mobilized Service members will be under the command and control of the Commander, U.S. Northern Command."

On CBS News' "Face the Nation" Sunday, U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Illinois) said federalizing and deploying hundreds of Illinois National Guard members amid clashes between protesters and federal agents amounts to "a misuse of the National Guard."

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said in a statement on Saturday that the Trump administration intends to federalize 300 Illinois National Guard members after he was offered an ultimatum on troop deployment. The White House later confirmed the plans. 

Duckworth told "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan that the National Guard members will be welcomed, as "they'll be homegrown Illinoisans, and they're our brothers and sisters, our neighbors."

However, she said, the National Guard troops are "not needed in this particular role."

It's a misuse of the National Guard," she said.

This latest development comes amid clashes between protesters and federal agents in Broadview, Illinois, where, within the past couple of weeks, over a dozen protesters were arrested, including seven on Friday.

Authorities also said a woman was shot by a federal agent on Saturday in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood after agents' cars were boxed in. The Department of Homeland Security said the woman was armed.

Duckworth said federal agents have been aggressors, and accused the Trump administration of lying about the situation on the ground.

Federal agents shot a woman in the Brighton Park neighborhood on Chicago's Southwest Side Saturday morning after they became boxed in by vehicles, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

DHS originally said the shooting happened while agents were patrolling in Broadview, where the department has a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility that has been the site of ongoing protests and clashes between agents and demonstrators. But officials later confirmed the incident happened near 40th Street and Kedzie Avenue in Chicago. 

The patrolling agents were rammed by vehicles and "boxed in by 10 cars," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

DHS said the agents were unable to move their vehicles and got out of the car. According to DHS officials, one of the drivers of a car boxing them in had a gun, which the agency said was a semi-automatic weapon. DHS said the agents opened fire, striking the driver, who they said is a woman. She was taken to a hospital for treatment. A spokesperson for Sinai Health System said the woman was later released from the hospital.

The woman was in FBI custody Sunday morning, DHS said.

DHS claimed the woman was named in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection intelligence bulletin last week for doxxing agents and posting threats against ICE online. They have not released any further information on those claims.

A later statement said as ICE agents were responding to the shooting, someone followed them and rammed their vehicle "in an attempt to run them off the road." This person was arrested and was in the custody of U.S. Homeland Security Investigations Sunday morning, the DHS statement said.

Ald. Julia Ramirez (12th) said she saw a man taken by federal agents at a gas station.

"Since then, there was one car that was at this gas station with a person, a U.S. citizen, that has now been detained," Ramirez said.

DHS added that an ICE vehicle popped a tire and was "mobbed," and law enforcement had to abandon the vehicle for their own safety. DHS said the vehicle was "significantly damaged."

DHS said several U.S. Customs and Border Protection law enforcement officers were "sent to the hospital with various injuries."

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has deployed special operations teams "to restore law and order," according to DHS.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said in a statement on Saturday that the Trump administration intends to federalize 300 Illinois National Guard members after he was offered an ultimatum on troop deployment.

"This morning, the Trump Administration's Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will," he said. "It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will."

The statement comes amid clashes between protesters and federal agents in Broadview, Illinois, where, within the past couple of weeks, over a dozen protesters were arrested, including seven on Friday.

"They will pull hardworking Americans out of their regular jobs and away from their families all to participate in a manufactured performance -- not a serious effort the protect public safety. For Donald Trump, this has never been about safety. This is about control," Pritzker said.  

CBS News Chicago legal analyst Irv Miller and former Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson talked with Irika Sargent about the latest developments in Broadview along with other parts of Chicago. Here were some snippets from their conversations Friday afternoon.

On the Logan Park canister video

Miller: "Somebody should be filing a case report with the Chicago Police Department, file a charge against the person. The officer, ICE agent, attempted to ... throw the canister, but pretty much got himself as well. But the problem is, we don't know what was happening to him at the moment that he did that. Was he in fear of his own safety at that time and he had to do it, or was he just seeing this motorcycle in front of him that wouldn't move, and he decided to throw it for no apparent reason? One is a violation of law: if he, you know, didn't have a legitimate reason for being in fear of his own safety. But the other is you can't do it for no reason. You're committing an assault. And that's why I think that somebody, either the person on the motorcycle, or some of the parents of these kids that were over there, may want to file a case report with the Chicago police."

What is considered a peaceful legal protest, and what is not?

Miller: "The Constitution protects peaceful protest. You could yell, you could scream, you could do whatever it takes ... have your posters, and you can bring out all your neighbors. But what you can't do is violate state or federal law in doing a protest. There's a difference between peaceful protest and civil disobedience, and under federal law, you cannot impede or interfere or assault a federal agent. If you're assaulting a federal agent, that's actually a federal felony. And if you're impeding, trying to block the car from coming out or getting in front of an ICE agent, not letting it move, you're impeding. That's a misdemeanor in federal court. So you want to avoid doing something that could put an ICE agent in a position to put handcuffs on you and take you away. You want to do peaceful protest, not civil disobedience. That is a violation of federal or state law."

What is the communication between ICE, Broadview officers and state police?

Johnson: "Ideally, the unified command will communicate with each other. Obviously, ideally, it would be good if they could communicate with the federal agents out there also, but that's not always the case. But that is the optimum way that you would like to do it. ... A lot of times, these protests, they can go south pretty quickly. But if you communicate with the protest organizers, you can usually keep it under control, because the idea with law enforcement out there is to protect their First Amendment rights, as well as protecting any citizens, including the ICE agents, from potential harm from those protesters."

A Chicago alderwoman was arrested by ICE agents on Friday afternoon inside a hospital in the Humboldt Park neighborhood.

Ald. Jessie Fuentes (26th) had gone to the Humboldt Park Health to check on someone who was injured during an immigration arrest, when ICE agents demanded she leave before grabbing her and handcuffing her.

The encounter was recorded on cell phone video shared on social media.

"This is a hospital. Do you have a signed judicial warrant for him? I am asking. I am asking. I did not touch you. I did not touch you," she said as she was handcuffed. "I did not touch you. I asked you if you had a signed judicial warrant for him. It is very simple. It is very simple. That man has constitutional rights. I did not touch you. It is a public space. I am not trespassing. I am asking you do you have a signed judicial warrant?"

"We told you to leave. You are impeding. Now you are under arrest for impeding," said the agent who handcuffed her.

Fuentes was released from custody a short time later.

"I simply asked, 'Well, what did I do wrong, outside of ask you if you have a signed judicial warrant. I want you to articulate to me what law did I break? They had to take those handcuffs off, because we have constitutional rights, and in the city of Chicago, every single elected official is going to protect those constitutional rights," she said.

Federal agents threw a tear gas canister at people on a busy street in the Logan Square neighborhood on Friday outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Cell phone video shows what's believed to be federal immigration agents throwing a tear gas canister from their SUV just before noon near the Rico Fresh supermarket in Logan Square. A person on a scooter was stopped in front of the SUV at the time.

Surveillance video showing an overhead view of what happened shows the street filling with tear gas clouds and people starting to disperse.

After throwing the tear gas canister, the agents left the scene.

CBS News Chicago legal analyst Irv Miller said someone should file a police report about the incident with the Chicago Police Department.

Miller said, while the agent's actions might be justified if he was in fear for his safety when he threw the tear gas canister, if not he could potentially face criminal charges.

According to numbers from the Department of Homeland Security and the Pew Research Center, ICE has so far detained 0.16% of undocumented immigrants living in Illinois.

The latest release from DHS touts more than 900 detained in "Operation Midway Blitz" so far. According to the Pew Research Center, as of 2023 there were 550,000 undocumented immigrants living in Illinois.

That means so far DHS efforts have detained only 0.16% of the undocumented population of the state. 

Gov. JB Pritzker said DHS Sec. Kristi Noem "should no longer be able to step foot" in Illinois without accountability "for the Trump Administration's gross misconduct" as she visited the Broadview ICE facility Friday.

"It's been nearly 45 days since Secretary Noem has held an official press conference, so it's time she faces the public and takes questions from the press to be held accountable for the Trump Administration's gross misconduct. Illinois is not a photo opportunity or warzone, it's a sovereign state where our people deserve rights, respect, and answers," Prtizker posted on X after she was spotted on the roof of the facility shortly before 8 a.m. 

 More than 100 protesters were gathered outside the facility by the time the 9 a.m. press conference started. There were also dozens of uniformed Illinois State Police troopers on the ground, and fully uniformed and armed federal agents on the roof the facility, as has become the norm.

CBS News Chicago saw at least six people being arrested or otherwise detained outside the Broadview ICE facility Friday.

Some appeared to be arrested by Broadview police, possibly for blocking streets, while others appeared to be taken into custody by federal agents. 

Friday's protest outside the Broadview ICE facility once again drew hundreds of people, along with a much heavier police presence.

After Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was spotted on the roof of the facility Friday morning, protesters moved over to the entrance on 25th Street where there have not been barrier and fences erected. Hundreds of demonstrators were gathered in that open space in hopes of being able to address Noem directly when she leaves.

There is a heavy presence from uniformed Illinois State Troopers at the facility Friday, forming a line that appears to be an attempt to keep federal agents and protesters apart. There were also dozens of federal agents, armed and in military uniform.

A large part of the Chicago area is restricted from using private drones as the Department of Homeland Security requested the FAA put up restrictions as ICE escalates immigration arrests.

The restricted flying zone covers a radius of 15 nautical miles from downtown Chicago, north to suburban Winnetka, west into suburban Oakbrook Terrace and south to Dolton.

The restriction is in place until October 12. 

Broadview village officials sent a strong message to the feds this week. They do not want U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operating its detention center in their town.

On Thursday, Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills said ICE agents are draining the resources of his department and the community by making false 911 calls.

Body camera video footage obtained by the CBS News Chicago Investigators shows several Broadview officers responding to a 911 call claiming someone was tampering with a gate at the ICE detention facility.

The gate in question is where ICE takes detained immigrants for processing, but when police arrived, all they found was two people and a camera. A CBS News Chicago photographer was filming the exterior of the building, with a CBS security guard by his side.

The 911 call from an ICE agent claimed someone was tampering with the gate.

According to an incident report, an ICE agent called police for help. Mills believes it was a bogus call.

Officials have put new safety measures in place outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, establishing a designated protest zone, and setting up a restricted area between protesters and ICE.

Illinois and Cook County officials said they have set up a temporary unified command to coordinate public safety efforts outside the ICE facility in Broadview.

Illinois State Police, the Cook County Sheriff's Office, the Cook County Department of Emergency Management and Regional Security, and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency have set up designated areas for protesters outside the facility, while leaving the street open for vehicles.

Crews installed new concrete barriers Thursday night establishing the designated protest zones and restricted area outside the ICE facility.

"The goal of the Unified Command is to protect the health and safety of all individuals, including nearby Broadview residents and businesses, and enable the peaceful expression of First Amendment rights. The agencies involved in this operation will neither assist nor obstruct enforcement of federal immigration statutes in compliance with state and federal law," Illinois State Police said.

Crews are preparing to set up barriers outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview. Illinois State Police said they are setting up a "First Amendment zone."

The move comes after protests have repeatedly become heated, with protesters often blocking vehicles exiting or entering the facility, and ICE agents frequently using tear gas, pepper balls, and rubber bullets against crowds.

State police and the Cook County Department of Transportation brought in several concrete barriers Thursday afternoon. Officials said they hope the barriers will prevent violent clashes between protesters and ICE agents, which have happened several times since the Trump administration began its immigration crackdown in the Chicago area.

Broadview officials said earlier this week that they have opened three criminal investigations into actions by ICE agents and the Department of Homeland Security around the facility.

Mayor Katrina Thompson, Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills and Acting Fire Chief Matt Martin all spoke harshly about the actions at the Broadview ICE facility, especially the use of chemical agent and tear gas on protesters outside.

"The relentless deployment of tear gas, pepper spray and mace at the ICE facility is endangering nearby village residents, harming police officers, harming firefighters and American citizens exercising their First Amendment rights," Mayor Thompson said.

She said the gas has a 200 to 700 foot radius of effect when it's deployed, but wind can and does carry the chemical agents further. It has exposed people who live nearby as well as nearby businesses that are vital to the community.

Mills recounted that on several occasions his officers have been "verbally abused" by ICE agents at the Broadview facility, including one agent telling an officer that "he was a fascist and wasn't doing his job" on Sept. 12.

Thompson and Mills said the use of tear gas and chemical agents is directly impacting the health and safety of public employees, with each deployment forcing officers, firefighters and EMTs to be taken out of action to recover.

The move to install barricades outside the facility appears to be an attempt to minimize future conflicts outside the facility.

Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates is weighing in on the ongoing ICE activity in Chicago.

In an interview on CNN, she condemned the Trump administration's immigration crackdown as an attack on families, including those who are being targeted by ICE as they are dropping off their kids at school.

She says the community is now working to protect themselves.

Veterans spoke out Thursday morning in response to the arrest of a 70-year-old veteran who was protesting over the weekend at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing center in Broadview, Illinois.

Illinois Veterans for Change was joined by members of the American Civil Liberties Union at a news conference Thursday morning. They said the use of force against Air Force veteran Dana Briggs was unacceptable.

Dana Briggs, an Air Force veteran, is one of five people facing federal charges after being detained during protests outside the facility this past Saturday. A grassroots veterans' organization is now planning to meet outside facility Thursday morning, saying Briggs was targeted while exercising his First Amendment rights.

Briggs, a longtime member of the activist group Common Defense, was released Monday from the Metropolitan Correctional Center downtown. He was still wearing the same clothes, with injuries from his fall and arrest.

He was pushed to the ground by an agent when he was arrested this past weekend.

Veterans at the news conference Thursday said their hope was to draw attention to the fact that a veteran was injured and detained for doing what he fought for. They said what he fought for includes being a patriot and protesting.

"This is not a partisan issue. It's not Democrat versus a Republican. This is just, are you willing to stand up for his right?" said Jesse Rojo, chair of Illinois Veterans for Change. "Are you willing to stand in solidarity to protect our democracy and say that due process is not something we can ignore, the Constitution is not something we can ignore, immigrants are not the enemy?"

Brightstar Church said a homeless shelter is manages in the city's Bronzeville neighborhood was raided by ICE Wednesday afternoon.

In a post to Instagram, the church wrote, "Our Bright Star Community Development Corporation manages a homeless shelter for the City of Chicago in Bronzeville. ICE raided our shelter this morning, where 260 residents reside. This unexpected act has left residents, staff, and the surrounding community traumatized."

The post included video of agents on the street outside the building and text on screen saying four immigrants were detained. CBS News Chicago has reached out to the city and ICE for more information.

Legal advocates on Wednesday were set to submit a petition seeking to stop U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from making civil arrests at and around Cook County courthouses.

The most recent documented case in the Chicago area happened last month, when ICE detained a woman outside the Cook County Domestic Violence Courthouse in the West Loop.

The advocates said they are filing the petition because their clients are scared to go to court — even for traffic ticket cases or to file protection orders.

"There has been a massive chilling effect on courthouse operations since Operation Midway Blitz went into effect. People are not coming to court to serve as witnesses. People with criminal cases are coming to court, as they're required to do by law, and then they're being arrested there," said Alexa Van Brunt, director of the Illinois office of the MacArthur Justice Center. "Survivors are abandoning orders of protection and not pursuing court cases in the domestic violence courthouse that we're in front of today. They're being forced to choose between their own safety and being arrested by ICE and ripped away from their families."

The advocates hope a judge will approve their petition to block similar arrests at courthouses in the future.

The Department of Homeland Security said the immigration raid in the dead of night at a South Shore apartment building was targeting members of the infamous Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang. 

Thirty-seven people were taken into custody, but DHS has not released details about who was detained and what they are accused of. They have also not said if any of those detained are actually members of the gang. 

CBS News Chicago continues to reach out to DHS for more information, but the agency says its press page is not staffed during the government shutdown. 

Hundreds of protesters were gathering along the Chicago River in downtown Chicago on Tuesday evening in the latest demonstration against the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

Protesters began gathering at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive around 5 p.m., and by around 6 p.m., hundreds had joined the protest, which has remained peaceful.

Protesters were blocking all westbound lanes of Upper Wacker Drive just east of Michigan Avenue, and police were diverting traffic at Stetson Avenue to allow drivers to get around the protest.

Demonstrators were expected to eventually march west on Upper Wacker Drive towards the Wabash Avenue bridge, across the river from Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago.

Organizers said they are protesting the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in the Chicago area, and President Trump's repeated threats to send troops to the city.

They also cited the shooting death of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez, a father and undocumented immigrant shot and killed an ICE agent in Franklin Park earlier this month.

Federal authorities have said agents were trying to arrest Villegas-Gonzalez, when he tried to drive his car into agents, dragging one of them as he fled the scene, prompting that agent to shoot him.

CBS News Chicago Investigators found the 38-year-old father had four traffic violations between 2010 and 2019 for offenses including speeding, an expired driver's license, not having insurance, and not having a child restraint seat, but had no violent criminal record.

After President Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested cities like Chicago should be used as "training grounds for our military," Gov. JB Pritzker said the 25th Amendment should be invoked to remove the president from office, saying "there is something genuinely wrong with this man."

"It appears that Donald Trump not only has dementia set in, but he's copying tactics of Vladimir Putin. Sending troops into cities, thinking that that's some sort of proving ground for war, or that indeed there's some sort of internal war going on in the United States is just, frankly, inane and I'm concerned for his health," Pritzker said Tuesday afternoon. "There is something genuinely wrong with this man, and the 25th Amendment ought to be invoked."

CBS News Chicago is reaching out to the White House for a response to Pritzker's comments.

While it's not the first time Pritzker has said he believes the president suffers from dementia, it's the first time he has publicly called for his removal from office.

The governor's comments came hours after the president told senior military leaders that he has told Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that cities like Chicago should serve as "training grounds" for troops.

"I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor," Mr. Trump said.

Pritzker on Monday said he had received a report that the Trump administration is seeking to deploy 100 military troops in Illinois to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and facilities amid the ongoing federal crackdown on illegal immigration.

In a statement, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said, "The Department of War has received a request for assistance to safeguard Federal personnel, property, and functions in the state of Illinois. Any decisions will be made in accordance with established processes and announced at the appropriate time."

Broadview officials announced they've opened three criminal investigations into actions by ICE agents at the facility in the west suburb. They have also demanded the facility take down the fence it erected over the weekend, which they said is built on a village street that is public property, and poses a safety hazard.

In a news conference, the mayor, police chief and acting fire chief were sharply critical of the actions federal agents have taken at that facility.

"The relentless deployment of tear gas, pepper spray and mace at the ICE facility is endangering nearby village residents, harming police officers, harming firefighters and American citizens exercising their First Amendment rights," Mayor Katrina Thompson said.  

The Department of Homeland Security said eight people were arrested in downtown Chicago on Sunday, when dozens of armed federal agents in camouflage were spotted along Michigan Avenue and at Millennium Park. Some of the agents were masked, carrying long guns, and walking in packs amongst shoppers and tourists.  

DHS described those arrested as "illegal aliens who broke our nation's immigration laws."

Video sent to the CBS News Chicago newsroom by a viewer showed what appeared to be federal agents detaining a mother and her children in front of dozens of people during the downtown deployment Sunday. CBS News Chicago is told it happened just before 1 p.m. Sunday on Michigan Avenue at Millennium Park.

Mayor Brandon Johnson has called the feds' show of force in downtown Chicago on Sunday an "absolute disgrace."

"They targeted street vendors and construction workers just trying to make an honest living. They made a little girl act as a translator as they took her family into custody. These are heartbreaking scenes that have nothing to do with making our city safer," he said on Monday.

Leaders in west suburban Broadview are going to address the escalating situation around the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility there Tuesday morning.

Leaders said they will address "the repeated, unprovoked" use of tear gas and pepper balls. 

On Sunday, a federal agent shot a pepper ball at CBS News Chicago reporter Asal Rezaei's vehicle when there were no protesters outside the facility. Chemicals from that pepper ball flooded the inside of her call through an open window, causing her to vomit and her face to burn.

Five protesters who were recently arrested outside the facility are charged with assaulting or resisting federal agents. The appeared in court Monday; two were held in custody, while the other three were released until their next court date. 

The FBI confirmed that the heavy presence of federal agents reported in the South Shore neighborhood was a "targeted immigration enforcement operation."

The FBI spokesperson did not provide further details.

Agents were seen holding long guns outside a residential building overnight near 75th Street and South Shore Drive. Most federal agents were wearing camouflage with vests that read U.S. Border Patrol Police or FBI.

Several agents were seen on an armored green truck, going in and out of U-Haul and Budget rental trucks.

Gov. JB Pritzker said Monday the Illinois National Guard has received notice that the Department of Homeland Security has sent a memo to the "Department of War" requesting 100 military troops be deployed to Illinois to protect ICE agents and facilities. 

"What I have been warning of is now being realized," Pritzker continued. "One thing is clear, none of what Trump is doing is making Illinois safer."

Groups are rallying Monday to protest ICE raids targeting Home Depot stores in Chicago.

The rally was held outside the Home Depot at 47th and Western. Organizers say since Sept. 16 they have seen agents at stores were workers are known to gather for day jobs. 

Members of the Berwyn-Cicero Rapid Response Team explained how this is negatively impacting their community. 

Video shows what appears to be federal agents detaining a mother and her children in front of dozens of people in Michigan Avenue Sunday.

The arrests happened just before 1 p.m., one of the many scenes reported as agents walked up and down the Loop and along the Chicago River Sunday. 

Gov. JB Pritzker will address the downtown deployment Monday afternoon.

No information about the woman or her children have been released.

Armed agents were said to have been spotted on Michigan Avenue near Millennium Park and possibly on the Chicago River. It is unclear what prompted their presence or if they've detained anyone.

Earlier on Sunday, President Donald Trump on Truth Social about Chicago with a video clip from Saturday night's interaction between federal agents and protesters in Broadview, Illinois. President Trump said in the post,  "Border Patrol will take no nonsense!"

Pritzker, in a statement, said, "The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks. This is not making anybody safer — it's a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses. We cannot normalize militarizing American cities and suburbs. Make sure you know your rights and stay alert."

Johnson, in a statement, said he will continue to monitor the situation.

A criminal investigation has been opened after a federal agent fired a pepper ball, unprovoked, at a CBS News Chicago reporter Sunday.

Reporter Asal Rezaei said there was no active protest or protesters at the facility, and she was alone with no one around her at the time of the incident.

In a report filed with Broadview police, Rezaei said she was driving her truck with her driver's side window down, while approaching the 25th Avenue entrance to see if any activity was taking place, before leaving the area. 

That's when she said a masked ICE agent, who saw her window down, shot a pepper ball about 50 feet from the inside of the fence, hitting her truck's driver's side panel, causing the chemical agents to engulf the inside of her truck.

Rezaei said the pepper ball left white powder on her windshield, and her face had "been on fire for at least the last 10 minutes or so." The chemical also caused her to vomit once outside of her truck, she said.

In her report, she said, "At this moment it's not really clear why that officer took a shot at me. My car has been here several times, although I did not identify myself verbally as a member of the press. There were no protests going on," said Rezaei. "There was actually nobody there except one other person that was a member of a fire department that was there checking in on the buildings around this area."  

One day after ICE agents detained a tamale vendor in Chicago, members of her family were out in the Back of the Yards neighborhood, selling out their stock in just one hour, but now there's growing concern over the chilling effect that could linger among the wider street vendor community.

On 26th Street in Little Village, the city's second busiest retail corridor, noticeably fewer street vendors have been working in recent weeks amid Operation Midway Blitz, the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in the Chicago area.

"The streets are normally filled," said Maria Orozco, with the Street Vendors Association of Chicago.

Her parents are street vendors, and like so many others they have stopped working since ICE stepped up its enforcement in Chicago earlier this month.

"I do worry for him every time he does head out," she said.

Tensions and clashes continued Friday between protesters and ICE agents outside the federal immigration detention facility in Broadview in Chicago's western suburbs.

A small group of protesters rallied outside the ICE facility throughout the day on Friday.

Friday morning, protesters placed signs on the large fence installed outside the facility, and agents removed them. Federal agents deployed pepper balls, tear gas, and rubber bullets several times at 50 to 75 protesters standing outside the facility, despite the fencing. 

CBS News Chicago crews saw one protester who touched the fence get hit with pepper balls fired by an agent. 

Broadview officials are demanding that the agency remove the fence because it went up without a permit and is blocking first responders.  

Meantime, a second group of protesters gathered on 25th Avenue where ICE agents are moving in and out of the facility with detainees. 

Protesters said they will not be deterred by "excessive force" from federal agents.

Federal authorities detained at least two people on Friday. According to the Department of Homeland Security, since September 19, a total of 17 people have been arrested for protesting in Broadview. 

One of the people arrested on Friday had a gun that was confiscated by ICE, federal officials said. Colleagues identified him as Elias Cepeda.

"Elias is a community leader in Pilsen," said Chicago Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez (25th).

Sigcho-Lopez said he personally knows Cepeda, including for his work with the nonprofit group Pilsen Defense & Access.

"Helping our children go to school, delivering groceries; I can attest, because it's someone that I personally know," he said.  

Cepeda's colleagues said he was outside the facility to try to deescalate tensions when he was detained. They also said he has a concealed carry license, and consistently carries a firearm with him for self-defense. He also works in private security.

"He's like a gentle giant," said his mother, Leila Mendez.

Tensions continued to rise Friday in Broadview, Illinois, where protesters have been outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing center all day.

Federal authorities detained at least two people, as chemical agents including tear gas and pepper balls were fired into the crowd.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, since September 19, a total of 17 people have been arrested for protesting in Broadview. One of the people arrested on Friday had a gun that was confiscated by ICE, federal officials said.

Protesters placed signs on the large fence installed outside the facility, and agents removed them. Federal agents deployed pepper balls, tear gas, and rubber bullets several times at 50 to 75 protesters standing outside the facility, despite the fencing.

For the first time since the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Chicago, armed U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents were seen patrolling the Chicago River on boats on Thursday.

Four boats marked "Border Patrol" were spotted along the river near State Street in downtown Chicago; each boat carrying several agents wearing masks and holding guns.

It was the first time immigration agents have been seen operating in downtown Chicago since the federal immigration crackdown began earlier this month under Operation Midway Blitz.

"Our goal, as always, is to ensure laws that are in place to protect our citizens are respected and violators are held accountable," Customs and Border Protection spokesman David Kim said in an email. "The boats will be here for the foreseeable future. We are approaching operations on Midway Blitz from an all threats perspective and will utilize land, water, or air to conduct operations, insert personnel to patrol areas, exhilarated personnel, or any other thing we deed necessary to accomplish our mission."

It's unclear exactly what purpose the boats will serve. Lake Michigan has no foreign border, and is the only one of the Great Lakes located entirely within the United States.

Lawrence Benito, executive director of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights said the boats serve "no other practical function other than to carry out a publicity stunt to advance ICE's propaganda."

Border Patrol Chief Micheal Banks also arrived in Chicago on Thursday, posting photos and videos of himself and agents on X, saying he "landed in Chicago." Ironically, one of the videos features the song "Bulls on Parade" by Rage Against the Machine, a criticism of the glorification of the U.S. military-industrial complex.

A woman selling tamales was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Thursday in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on the Southwest Side of Chicago.

Jamie Perez said he was on a video call with his girlfriend, Laura Murillo, at the time ICE agents took her into custody as she was selling tamales near 47th and Western. He watched it all play out before the phone line went dead.

The next time he heard from her, Murillo was at the ICE processing facility in west suburban Broadview.

"She called me, and she's in Broadview, and they only let her make that one phone call," Perez said.

Murillo has two children, an 18-year-old daughter and a 16-year-old daughter who has special needs. 

Murillo's older daughter picked up her table and chairs after she was arrested, and spoke to members of the Southwest Side Rapid Response Team, which responds to sightings of ICE activity in Chicago.

"Talked about how her mom had been in the us for 20 years. She has a child with special needs," said Jianan Shi. "After this morning's operation, she's now at Broadview."

Video shows someone hitting a demonstrator with a pickup truck outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in the west Chicago suburb of Broadview Wednesday night.

Demonstrators have been gathering outside the facility for weeks.

CBS News Chicago reporter Marissa Sulek was on the scene Wednesday night as the protester was struck.

On Thursday morning, questions remained about who was behind the wheel of the pickup truck that hit the demonstrator. Protesters said it was an ICE agent behind the wheel, but CBS News Chicago has not been able to confirm that information.

The person who was struck was taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood and was expected to recover. Broadview police said they are treating what happened like a regular traffic accident.

"There was an incident where a demonstrator in the vicinity of ICE detention center made contact with a vehicle. Treating this incident as we would any other traffic accident where a pedestrian was struck," the Village of Broadview said in the statement. "The victim was transported by BFD to Loyola Hospital and is in stable condition. We will update when we gather additional, confirmed information."

The Village of Broadview has demanded that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security take down the fencing outside the Broadview Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.

Hours after the fencing went up at the facility, a letter went out from the Broadview Fire Department to Homeland Security saying in part, "built, without a permit, a fence on a public street under the jurisdiction of the village of Broadview… currently blocking Broadview Fire Department access to that road."

The department "demand that the fence be removed immediately."

The fencing went up four days after Friday's heated exchange that led to multiple arrests and the use of tear gas and pepper balls by DHS agents against those trying to block the entrance to the facility.

DHS said, "Police under JB Pritzker's sanctuary jurisdiction refused to answer multiple calls for assistance."

Hours later, the city pushed back, saying, "Broadview Police Department did not receive today's multiple calls for assistance from the leadership of the ICE detention facility in Broadview. That is false."

The Village of Broadview also said the feds failed to notify local police they were using tear gas and mace, as was promised to them.

Four days before the incident, Broadview's Mayor Katina Thompson framed the presence of the ICE facility and the protesters' presence as "a very scary time."

"What a lot of people don't know is that the ICE facility has been here for almost 30 years, way before my time," she said.

Police in the west Chicago suburb of Broadview blocked the street early Tuesday in front of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility that has drawn protests for days.

A tall wire fence has also been set up surrounding the building to block access to it. It was not clear what kind of clearance was needed for agents to get in and out.

Two protesters were seen outside the ICE facility at 5 a.m. Tuesday.

A protester who was taken into custody outside the Broadview U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility this past weekend spoke to CBS News Chicago Monday.

"I kind of tapped on the window, and that's when I was detained, and I ended up getting severely bruised," Rogelio Huerta said. "We were just continuing the protest that happened since Friday, but it got a little ugly."

Huerta said he found himself behind the fence around the ICE facility parking lot, where those detained are brought in on vans and buses.

"They refused me a phone call, they refused food, they refused any kind of essentials that I needed. So if I needed a cover, a blanket, they didn't even have anything for me," he said.

Huerta said, six hours after he was detained, he walked out with a citation for assaulting a federal officer.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection chief patrol agent Gregory Bovino announced three arrests from Friday's protest, but the U.S. Attorney's office said they have no record of anyone charged with that same statute.

Huerta said he was given a written citation, but has yet to receive a court date.

Federal officials said more than a dozen protesters were arrested over the weekend outside a federal immigration facility in Broadview in Chicago's western suburbs.

Early on Monday morning, five people were out protesting at the Broadview ICE facility. They chanted, sounded off, and recorded video every time an ICE vehicle came out of the facility.

Chains were heard rattling around 6 a.m., a sign that detainees were either being moved into and out of a van. Several vehicles were seen going into the facility, but not many were going out.

By 9 a.m., the protest group had grown — though there were still fewer than a dozen people. Meanwhile, an emergency response officer was seen on the roof of the Broadview building, walking back and forth and monitoring the scene.  

Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security denies rumors that the facility is closing.

Also this past weekend, President Trump used a memorial service for conservative activist Charlie Kirk again to promise to send National Guard troops to Chicago.

"One of the last things he said to me is, 'Please, sir, save Chicago,'" President Trump said at the memorial service in Glendale, Arizona," President Trump said. "We are going to do that. We are going to save Chicago from horrible crime."

A small group of protesters was seen outside the ICE facility in Broadview, where on Friday, agents clashed with demonstrators.

Less than 10 people were gathered at the facility. 

After multiple clashes between ICE agents and protesters, and several arrests, some demonstrators set off smoke bombs and fireworks after sunset outside the ICE facility in Broadview, filling the air with smoke.

It was a tense and chaotic situation outside the ICE facility in Broadview for more than 12 hours as protesters repeatedly tried to block vehicles from leaving the parking lot.

ICE agents repeatedly fired pepper spray balls and tear gas into the crowd after they blocked vehicles. Several people were taken into custody, but federal authorities have yet to announce any charges.

Around 6:45 p.m., protesters again clashed with ICE agents as a vehicle was leaving the parking lot. Agents appeared to fire tear gas and or pepper spray, and several people in the crowd began fighting with agents.

Agents could be seen chasing several people and tackling them to the ground. At least five people were handcuffed and taken into the parking lot before tensions calmed again.

Four people have been taken into custody after clashes between ICE agents and protesters outside a federal immigration facility in Broadview on Friday. Legal experts weighed in on what those people could face if they're charged with any crime.

"They may be detained in custody pending a decision by the feds as to whether they're going to prosecute," said attorney Richard Kling, who practices law in federal court.

Kling said, if these the government does file charges against those who were arrested, the protesters could appear in federal court as soon as Friday afternoon.

"It's minor. You have cases in the federal building dealing with murder, and sexual assault, and trafficking, and all of the other terrible things that go on in society, and disorderly conduct at the Broadview ICE facility is probably at the bottom of the totem pole," Kling said.

He said, U.S. citizen or not, federal agents might argue the behavior outside the ICE Broadview facility was not protected by the First Amendment.

Immigration enforcement officials have arrested nearly 550 people as part of the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration in the Chicago area, which began less than two weeks ago, a top Department of Homeland Security official told CBS News.

"Operation Midway Blitz in honor of Katie Abraham has resulted in almost 550 arrests. Every arrest is a testament to DHS and its law enforcement's dedication to enforcing the laws of our nation. We will not be deterred by sanctuary politicians or violent rioters," DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Chief Gregory Bovino has showed up at the Broadview ICE facility as protesters continue to gather outside.

Bovino walked out and joined agents at the open facility gate shortly before noon Friday. He appeared to be taking in the crowd outside the facility and speaking with armed agents in full military uniforms. 

Bovino did not interact directly with the protesters and went back inside a short time later. 

The scene outside the Broadview ICE detention center has calmed significantly since early morning clashes between federal agents and protesters. 

Protesters still remained outside the facility, but the crowd thinned significantly by 11 a.m. 

The original protest announcement called for one demonstration from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and another at 7 p.m.

A tense situation erupted Friday morning when federal agents at the Broadview ICE facility fired a chemical agent, which people on the ground said smelled and acted like tear gas, into a crowd of demonstrators.

The smoke sent demonstrators and press alike scrambling to protect their eyes and airways. See the moment it unfolded.

Armed federal agents on the roof fired chemical agents at the crowd of protesters outside the Broadview ICE facility around 8:30 a.m. Friday morning.

The cloud of what people at the scene smelled like tear gas sent protesters and media running, finally allowing agents to drive a vehicle out of the facility. 

A second protester was taken into custody. Kat Abughazaleh, who is also running for Congress, said that one of the protesters was inside the facility, while the other was put in a van and "taken god knows where."

"All of us joined arms, we did not let the van pass. ICE came in and tried to drive the car through us, they almost ran someone over," She said. "We did not move, we stood strong, and that's when they brought out the pepper balls and the tear gas."

"We have no weapons, we have signs and chants and songs," she added. "They are treating us like it's a warzone."  

Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton joined protesters speaking out against ICE enforcement in Broadview on Friday morning.

"People are here to peacefully protest," She said. "Look what we have been seeing over the past several weeks right here in Chicago. People are being snatched off the streets, stuffed into unmarked vans with no due process." 

"I'm here to stand with Illinoisians who are protesting peacefully," Stratton said. 

A tense encounter is underway as protesters and ICE agents clash outside the Broadview ICE facility.

Video from the scene shows federal agents dragging at least two protesters. At least one protester was dragged into the facility. 

There were also reports of chemical agents sprayed into the crowd by federal enforcement. 

Early Friday morning, protesters were seen gathering outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois. 

The protest was set to begin around 7 a.m., but video from the scene showed a group outside the facility before 5 a.m. A bigger crowd is expected later in the morning for the protest, which is expected to continue through 7 p.m.

They say they are here to oppose "Operation Midway Blitz."   

Last week, protesters faced heavily armed agents in military gear. Some protesters were hit with chemical agents and rubber bullets. 

As the Trump administration continues its immigration crackdown in the Chicago area, reports have started coming in that ICE agents have targeted places like Home Depot, where migrant workers are known to gather for for-hire jobs.

Rapid response teams formed by immigrant rights groups have said Home Depot stores have become a target, something the Department of Homeland Security promised they would not do.

"ICE has targeted Home Depot corner hiring sites … where day laborers – our neighbors who build, paint, fix, and beautify this city – have been the target of these unwarranted attacks," said Miguel Avelo Rivera with Latino Union of Chicago, which represents day laborers.

Volunteers said, in the last two days, multiple undocumented neighbors working at Home Depot sites were detained by ICE.

On the Northwest Side, immigrant advocates said five people were arrested as part of an immigration enforcement mission as they traveled to work.

Video from the Home Depot at 47th and Western appears to show uniformed federal agents conducting an immigration enforcement mission on Wednesday afternoon.

At a rally on the Northwest Side on Thursday, activists pointed to the same type of activity at other Home Depots.

Elgin Community College said federal immigration officers took a student into custody on campus Thursday morning.

The student was taken into custody in a parking lot outside a building on the main campus, the college said.

The college said it was not involved in the arrest and does not share students' immigration status.

College officials have reached out to local lawmakers and community leaders to make them aware of the incident.

Elgin Community College said because the matter is an ongoing federal process and also due to privacy protections, no further information will be released.

At First Presbyterian Church in Elgin, moment of solace, reflection, and comfort, with candles being lit for every family separated, as the community copes with a wave of fear that has filled its streets this week, as federal immigration enforcement agents took several people into custody in the cover of night.

Maggie Lugo, who is undocumented, runs Casa Michoacán—an organization that responds to ICE agent sitings like Tuesday's enforcement in Elgin. She said the agents are not welcome there. 

"I walk in fear, but I also know that I know my rights, I know that I pay my taxes, I have two U.S. citizen kids that were born here. We are not criminals," she said.

A father and son from the western suburbs are among dozens of people detained by ICE agents over the past few days in the Chicago area, and now they're being held hundreds of miles away from their family.

Family and friends of Rodolfo and Jonathan Hernandez said the pair were arrested by federal immigration agents on Friday morning, leaving them devastated and racing to secure their release.

The family said Rodolfo and Jonathan were taken to the ICE facility in west suburban Broadview on Friday, and less than 24 hours later they were taken to another facility in Springfield, Missouri.

Rodolfo's daughter said her 57-year-old father has been in the U.S. for 20 years. Her 24-year-old brother Jonathan has been in the U.S. since 2021.

The two are from Mexico City, but she said they've made Cicero their home. Rodolfo started a small construction business with help from Jonathan.

The two are in the U.S. without legal status. On Friday, she said the two were on their way to work when they were pulled over by federal agents.

She said video posted on social media shows their work vans stopped by agents near 45th Street and Cicero Avenue in Chicago, where they were taken into custody.

More ICE arrests were reported in the Chicago suburbs Wednesday.

Social media groups dedicated to protecting migrants posted videos today. in one several cars and agents are seen near a 7-Eleven in Wheaton, Illinois. Another video shows agents in Bensenville, Illinois, taking away a person in handcuffs. 

Cook County commissioners, public defenders, and activists gathered on Wednesday, calling the federal immigration tactics horrifying and devastating.

Those inside the meeting condemned the recent ICE arrests and raids. This included people being arrested outside of courthouses, people being called for irregular check-ins, and parents being detained while driving their children to school in Cicero.

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle addressed the community impact of the arrests and called them "unacceptable." 

"These practices create fear in our neighborhoods and real trust in law enforcement, plain clothes agents, unmarked cars, and the refusal to provide identification are not the hallmarks of transparency or accountability," Preckwinkle said.

Preckwinkle said this raises the risk of abuse and intimidation as well as impersonation. 

Officials said they are in the process of passing a resolution to denounce the tactics of federal agents.

Cook County leaders said they're sending a clear message to the community that they are standing behind residents, no matter their immigration status.

After a day of increased federal raids and arrests in the city and suburbs, Cook County leaders are now pushing back.

Commissioners will gather outside the Cook County building at 9 a.m. to denounce federal immigration tactics.

This comes after two U.S. citizens were among five people arrested in an early morning ICE raid in Elgin, Illinois, on Tuesday, an operation that was shared on social media by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.   

Commissioners, public defenders, and immigrant rights groups will push back on Wednesday on what they call deceptive and brutal tactics. 

Video captured the moment ICE agents tried to take a father and his two sons into custody—leaving one man in the hospital, even though he's not in the country illegally.

Family members said that the man was released from the hospital after he said he was tased in the face while being taken into federal custody.

The only problem—he was born in Chicago. 

Although his father is undocumented, they all ended up in ICE custody.

Federal agents pulled out weapons around 9:30 Tuesday morning. They boxed in a landscaping truck just as a father and his two sons exited the 7-Eleven store at Ballard and Potter Roads in Des Plaines.

Edgar Ruiz said he came out first and jumped in the passenger seat. His brother, Adrian, was second---yet when his father, Rigoberto Ruiz, left the store, surveillance shows ICE agents moved in.

Two U.S. citizens were among five people arrested in an early morning ICE raid in Elgin, Illinois, Tuesday, an operation that was shared on social media by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Those two citizens were later released.

A video shared on social media by a witness shows several people being led away in handcuffs by agents in military uniforms with tactical vehicles in the street. The witness took the video after hearing what she described as an explosion around 5:50 a.m.

In the video, you can see armed officers shining flashlights at a door and into a window. Another neighbor said he heard a law enforcement helicopter overhead.

A contractor called by a homeowner in the neighborhood to repair damage told CBS News Chicago that both the front and back doors of the home in question were busted in.

Five people were arrested by immigration agents from a single home. Two of them have since been released, because they are U.S. citizens.

One of those men said it was an incredibly scary morning to be arrested by immigration agents. He said they were asked at one point if they were citizens, and both men were on their way to work at the time so were able to produce their drivers licenses, and be released.

He said the reason the other three people were detained remains unknown.

The Trump administration has launched a second immigration enforcement operation in the Chicago area, with a new U.S. Customs and Border Protection sweep that began on Tuesday.

The dual operations are similar, but each with their own mission and their own personnel, neither of which includes local police agencies or federal troops.

Both efforts involve federal agents arresting criminal and non-criminal immigrants in deportation sweeps.

The immigration sweeps are both statewide efforts, not merely focused on Chicago and the suburbs.

The first, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement initiative dubbed "Operation Midway Blitz," began earlier this month.

The second immigration sweep, "Operation At Large," started on Tuesday, according to CBS News sources, and is being led by Gregory Bovino, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection official who led controversial immigration enforcement raids in southern California this summer.

The new operation differs from Midway Blitz in that it will look more like the LA effort, with more indiscriminate raids, sources said. Bovino's team has a history of targeting Home Depots and car washes.

Notably, neither effort is using the National Guard, as they have not been mobilized in Illinois.

Students from Chicago public and charter schools walked out of class Tuesday and went downtown to protest ICE and "Operation Midway Blitz" outside Trump Tower.

The students carried signs that had messages like Speaking up for those who can't," "Hate never made America great," and "Your president has a mugshot, my parents don't."

Other students made makeshift signs on their spiral school notebooks, saying "Viva Mexico," "Stop ICE" and "No person is Illegal."

After gathering near the Chicago Theater at State and Lake, they walked to Wacker Drive and protested across the river from Trump Tower.

Several people were arrested in an early morning ICE raid in northwest suburban Elgin, which was captured on video that was also later shared by DHS Sec. Kristi Noem.

Neighbors said they were awoken by the sounds of the raid shortly before 6 a.m. Video taken by a witness shows armed agents shining flashlights at a door and into a window. Another neighbor said he heard helicopters in the air. 

"Very unusual in our usually quiet neighborhood," Jim Andresen said. 

Members of an immigration rapid response team are circulating in the area, and say they are ready to spring into action if any more ICE activity pops up.

U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood, who represents Illinois' 14th District, said ICE has reportedly arrested 250 people since they began "Operation Midway Blitz" on September 6. 

Underwood is a ranking member of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Appropriations, and said the Trump administration's immigration enforcement actions have reached well out of Chicago, which is where they said they would be operating.

"This surge...is not just in Chicago — it is reportedly designated to include the entire state of Illinois, plus Lake County, Indiana," Underwood wrote in a press release. "ICE reported they are currently focused on the Chicagoland area and surrounding suburbs."

"The law enforcement personnel deployed in this surge are from ICE (which includes HSI) and from the U.S. Department of Justice (which includes the U.S. Marshals, DEA, and ATF). Since September 6, ICE reports it has taken 250 individuals in custody from this operation," the statement continues. 

As she got ready to leave the Chicago area after a brief visit, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted video to her official X account showing an ICE raid in Elgin.

Noem's post referenced the fatal shooting of an undocumented driver in Franklin Park Friday morning, an incident in which an ICE agent was also dragged by a car and injured, but the video she posted matches video posted on Facebook showing a raid at a home in Elgin. Elgin is about 42 miles northwest of Chicago; Franklin Park is about 15 miles northwest of the city.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was in Chicago Tuesday morning, according to sources familiar with the situation.  

Multiple sources told CBS News Noem was in Chicago amid enhanced immigration enforcement operations in the city. 

The Department of Homeland Security launched what it dubbed "Operation Midway Blitz" last week. DHS has not said how long they expect their operations in Chicago to last. 

The attendance at this year's El Grito festival in Pilsen looked a lot smaller after plans changed, and many decided to stay home in fear of deportations.

Similar to the Mexican Independence Day celebration in Little Village on Sunday, there were no sightings of federal agents at the festival.

Organizers said there were rapid response teams ready for the worst-case scenario. That still did not make some feel comfortable enough to come out to the event.

A Mexican Independence Day tradition is continuing in the Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago, despite fears over immigration enforcement, although this year's El Grito festivities look a little different.

The tradition re-creates the Cry of Dolores -- a call to arms in 1810 that launched Mexico's war for independence from Spain.

Now it's another freedom that's top of mind for Chicago's Mexican American community, which fears that they are being unjustly targeted for political reasons amid "Operation Midway Blitz," the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation underway in the Chicago area.

The annual El Grito celebration in Pilsen is taking place beginning at 5 p.m. at St. Paul Catholic Church, at 2127 W. 22nd Pl. 

"That is the heart of our history, our culture, our tenacity; and there's a saying, 'Wherever there is a Mexican in the world, there will be a Grito," said organizer Teresa Fraga.

The ICE operations that sent west suburban residents into their homes in fear and prompted school lockdowns were caught on camera and shared on social media. 

Videos circulating in a West Chicago Facebook group show ICE officer smashing in a car window before pulling out the driver. Another angle shows the driver up against a black SUV as agents pat him down.

Another video shows a man being arrested on a sidewalk. Neighbors can be heard yelling at the agents they should be ashamed of themselves.

Another video appears to be shot by someone inside their home, looking on in fear as ICE agents circle their neighborhood.

People became increasingly concerned as school was let out, as they said residents have been targeted at school drop off and pick up. Tensions have been high in West Chicago all day as neighbors are terrified of what is still to come. 

ICE and the Department of Homeland Security confirmed the arrests  

State Senator Karina Villa said she was notified of ICE arrests in West Chicago, Illinois, about 32 miles west of Chicago in DuPage County Monday morning.

Villa said in a video posted to Facebook immigration rapid response units were deployed to help people as reports started coming around the start of the school and work days. 

District 33 said it has placed its schools on "Secure and Teach" protocol due to the reports of ICE activity and notified parents of the decision. The protocol allows them to continue normal instruction and inside activities, but locks outside doors. 

Villa and other officials are scheduled to hold a news conference at 1:30 p.m. with more information. 

An attorney who represented Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez in the past for traffic violations said he did not have a criminal record, only minor traffic violations in the past.

Villegas-Gonzalez was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Franklin Park Friday morning as immigration agents tried to arrest him. The Department of Homeland Security said he had a history of reckless driving, was a Mexican national and came into the U.S. at an unknown date and time.

CBS News Chicago Investigators found Villegas-Gonzales had four traffic violations between 2010 and 2019 for offenses including speeding, an expire driver's license, not having insurance and not having an appropriate child restraint seat. His attorney Manuel Cardenas, who represented him on two of those violations, said he had no criminal record and was respectful, hardworking and willing to comply with what the court required.

"He was undocumented but he was complying with every single law. He was working," he said. "If he had to go to court he would go to court. If he had to pay a fine or he had to do anything the court required, he was very compliant." 

One thing that has been notably absent from this year's Mexican Independence Day celebrations are the downtown car caravans. For the past few years the Loop has been gridlocked with people celebrating in the streets on Friday and Saturday night.

Several police checkpoints were in place this year that my have limited the revelry, along with fears about ICE agents and immigration enforcement.

Organizers of an El Grito event at a Pilsen neighborhood church on Monday said they changed locations at least three times for safety.

The El Grito event is taking place beginning at 5 p.m. at St. Paul Catholic Church, at 2127 W. 22nd Pl. It will honor the beginning of the war for freedom in Mexico in 1810.

Organizers said rapid response teams are ready for the worst-case scenario of an ICE raid.

"We're resilient. Our culture has it in us. We're not going to back down," said Nellie Quintana of the Mexican Cultural Committee of Chicago. "We're going to speak for those that cannot speak for themselves. We're going to reenact El Grito for those that cannot come out."    

The ICE enforcement operation also remained in progress as thousands lined the streets of Chicago's Little Village neighborhood to watch the 26th Street Mexican Independence Day Parade. But this weekend's festivities were not as crowded as they would normally be, as worries about deportation linger.

But rumors that ICE would infiltrate the parade did not come true, and the celebration on 26th Street went off without a hitch.

Performers wore traditional costumes, danced, and sang songs that spanned the history of Mexico.

One spectator said she was proud to teach her children about their heritage, but said she was said that some extended family members were too afraid to attend this year.

"Some family didn't want to risk," Mirilint Morales said. "They feel afraid because they are illegal, some of them. So, they don't feel safe gathering where there's too many people."

Berto Aguayo, police co-chairman with the Latino Council, said he noticed that people didn't stick around as much after the parade, from which businesses benefited in the past, at a time when business is already down.

Despite increased fears of enhanced immigration enforcement under "Operation Midway Blitz," some Mexican Independence Day celebrations stepped off as planned in Chicago on Sunday — including the annual parade in the Little Village neighborhood.

Organizers of the parade said keeping it going shows the community's commitment to heritage and cultural resilience.

The parade proceeded westward on 26th Street from the Little Village arch at Albany Avenue west to Kostner Avenue. It featured floats, Mariachi bands, and dozens of community organizations.

U.S. Rep. Jesús "Chuy" García (D-Illinois) served as the grand marshal of the parade. He said the parade reminds the community that diversity is a strength.

The ICE agent that was dragged by a car and injured during Friday's incident in Franklin Park, Illinois, that resulted in the fatal shooting of an undocumented immigrant has been released from the hospital.

Department of Homeland Security officials told CBS News the agent had "severe back injuries," as well as cuts to his hands and tears in his knee. 

Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, who the DHS official said was a Mexican national, was shot and killed. ICE officials said he had a criminal history of reckless driving. 

Rep. Jesus "Chuy" Garcia and Rep. Delia Ramirez joined community leaders outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, on Saturday morning. 

Activists called for the release of Willian Gimenez, who they said was detained on September 12 while he was entering a barbershop in Little Village. Gimenez's wife, Mary, was at the media conference to demand his release. 

"We're here today because there's no other place to turn; we don't even know if Willian is here," Garcia said. "Willian's abduction was not random."  

Garcia called actions from immigration law enforcement "an abuse of power" and "a dangerous escalation."

The state representative also addressed the man who was shot and killed by ICE agent in Franklin Park on Friday morning after authorities say he attempted to drive into agents as they tried to make an arrest.

"The death was not an accident; it was state violence," Garcia said. 

Demonstrators faced off with federal agents in military gear outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, Illinois, on Friday, at times clashing during a 12-hour protest of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in the Chicago area.

Meantime, activist groups have been working as "rapid response teams" in the city and suburbs, showing up when they hear about ICE activity, in an effort to protect immigrants' rights.

The groups said they're bracing for growing ICE operations as the federal government's "Operation Midway Blitz" ramps up across the Chicago area.

Pilsen Defense & Access – a nonprofit group that provides services like martial arts classes, food distribution, medical checkups and immigrant advocacy work – documented a sighting of ICE agents near the National Museum of Mexican Art on Friday.  

"Chicago is a city that fights. Chicago is a city that organizes," said the group's medical director, Julie Bruene.

They're one of many rapid response and patrol teams in Chicago neighborhoods.

"Trying to respond, but also be not just reactive but proactive," Bruene said.

Responding to alleged ICE sightings or being present at events like parades is a team effort. They said coming together bolsters community preparedness and strength.

"I don't want to cower in fear, and having people stand beside you is really helpful, and I really appreciate that," said Pilsen Defense & Access volunteer member Melanie Diaz.

Pilsen Defense & Access said they'll be providing a presence at upcoming Mexican Independence Day events through the weekend and next week.

U.S. Rep. Chuy Garcia (D-IL) returned from Washington, D.C., after learning of the shooting death of Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez during an ICE arrest in Franklin Park.

Garcia, whose district includes Franklin Park, said he was "shocked" by Villegas-Gonzalez's death, and called for a full investigation of what led to the shooting, as well as the release of all surveillance camera and body camera video from the incident.

"This community is shocked, and they deserve to get the answers to the questions that are raised. Was there a warrant issued for his detention? Was there a basis for his being pulled over this morning? He had just dropped off two children at a local school," Garcia said. "The community needs to know the facts. The public needs to know what transpired."

This weekend, Chicago can expect a busy few days packed with Mexican Independence Day celebrations, despite an increased immigration enforcement presence in the area.

The Trump administration's push for deportations isn't deterring the Mexican American community in Chicago from coming out and celebrating their culture.

From downtown to Pilsen and Little Village, expect parades, car caravans, street closures, and large crowds.

Mexican Americans said they feel it's extra-important to show up this year.

With the Mexican flag flying behind his truck, Ricky Medina was getting ready on Friday to lead a car caravan throughout the city.

"I understand they say we fly another country's flag, but it's not another country, it's our culture," he said.

It's his way of celebrating Mexican Independence Day.

"We're born here, we're American, but we're proud of our culture as Mexican Americans, and we're going to be out here. You're not going to scare us. We're still going to celebrate," he said.

Medina said he's encouraging a weekend of peaceful caravans – long lines of cars that he said started with car clubs in Chicago, and has expanded in recent years to take over much of Chicago's downtown.

In spite of increased fears of enhanced immigration enforcement under "Operation Midway Blitz," while some are staying home, Medina said plenty of crowds will still be outside.

"They're scared that ICE is going to come out," Medina said. "So the more united we are, the less they can with us."

CBS News Chicago legal analyst Irv Miller spoke to us Friday afternoon, discussing the deadly ICE shooting in Franklin Park and the 12-hour protest outside the ICE facility in west suburban Broadview.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has commented on the Franklin Park shooting on his social media accounts.

"I am aware of the troubling incident that has unfolded in Franklin Park," Pritzker posted on X. "This is a developing situation and the people of Illinois deserve a full, factual accounting of what's happened today to ensure transparency and accountability."

Heavily armed and fully uniformed ICE agents have clashed several times with protesters outside the Broadview processing center Friday. On a couple occasions CBS News Chicago also saw them fire pepper balls into the crowd. 

The agents have largely stayed behind the facility gates but when they have emerged to push back protesters and allow vehicles with detainees through, they have clashed with protesters. 

One counter-protester is also at the scene, holding an American flag. 

The Department of Homeland Security said the man shot and killed by an ICE agent in Franklin Park had a criminal history of reckless driving.

DHS officials identified the man as Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez. They said he entered the U.S. at an unknown date and time. 

DHS said Villegas-Gonzalez dragged the agent a "significant distance" with his car, and the agent suffered "multiple injuries."

An ICE agent shot and killed a man in northwest suburban Franklin Park while trying to make an arrest Friday morning, officials said. 

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said while trying to make the arrest, the man drove his car into agents, hitting one of them. The agent opened fire, striking the man. 

Both were taken to the hospital; the suspect died, while the agent was seriously injured but his condition has stabilized, officials said.

The FBI is helping with the investigation. 

Protesters confronted ICE agents outside their Broadview processing center Friday morning, part of a 12-hour protest.

The protesters chanted "shame on you" outside the center, and at one point CBS News Chicago saw ICE agents pushing protesters back from the building as they worked to get multiple vehicles out through the crowd.

Protesters are gathering outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois on Friday morning. 

Organizers say this is a a 12-hour grassroots demonstration, starting at 7 a.m. and continuing through 7 p.m. Protestors say ICE is illegally using the facility for detention.

The group will consist of community members, activists, and faith leaders. 

"I just think it's really important that those of us who see the injustices speak up and get other citizens to understand what's going on right now," a protester told CBS News Chicago. 

This comes as Chicago's Committee on Immigrant and Refugee Rights is holding a hearing. 

The main focus on the agenda is the committee's efforts to support immigrant and refugee communities. The committee will also talk about federal immigration activity.

The hearing starts at noon at City Hall.

Mexican Independence Day is just days away, and tens of thousands are set to celebrate over the next few days in the Chicago area with a number of events – some official, others not so much – despite fears about the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

Leaders behind organized Mexican Independence Day festivities said it's more important to celebrate the holiday this year, amid the federal immigration enforcement operation dubbed "Operation Midway Blitz," which has left many immigrants in fear of going out in public.

"I walk around the Pilsen neighborhood, I see the struggles, I see the empty streets," said Nellie Quintana, with the Mexican Cultural Committee of Chicago.

While this year's El Grito festival in Grant Park has been postponed due to concerns about the immigration crackdown in Chicago, the Mexican Cultural Committee of Chicago will host an El Grito celebration at St. Paul Catholic Church in Pilsen on Monday.

"We've been planning for the safety of everyone. We've actually switched locations three times," Quintana said.

Meantime, city officials are planning for possible street closures downtown, after previous years had the city's Central Business District gridlocked with massive car caravans, as drivers paraded around waving Mexican flags on downtown streets for hours.

Ald. Brian Hopkins (2nd) – whose ward includes parts of Streeterville, the Gold Coast, Old Town, and Lincoln Park – said the city is preparing to manage the issue.

"The challenge this year is the fact that no one has any idea what kind of crowds we're talking about," he said. "We do have two new helicopters this year. They will be deployed so we'll have air support. We're going to do our best to prevent those car caravans from getting to a critical mass." 

Activists announced they will hold a 12-hour protest outside the Broadview ICE processing center Friday, Sept. 12. 

The announcement calls for demonstrators to gather at the facility on Beach Street at 7 a.m. with the intention of continuing the protest until 7 p.m.

Organizers say the facility is illegally used as a detention facility. They said at a protest last week, they successfully turned an ICE vehicle around.

They said the longer protest is because Broadview changed the departure time of vehicles outside of a typical two-hour timeframe. 

"This facility is the heart of ICE operations in Chicago. It is the primary location people are taken to when they are arrested by ICE in Chicago. For the next 6 weeks, federal officials plan for it to be in near-constant operation," said organizer Julia Rohan in a press release. "Every minute ICE cannot access this facility to facilitate their disappearances is a minute well spent."     

State and city officials said the effects of the Trump administration's increased ICE operations in Chicago area already having a palpable effect on residents and businesses. 

The Illinois Legislative Latino Caucus said more ICE activity has been seen in Archer Heights, as well as west suburban Cicero and Berwyn. People are being moved quickly through the Broadview ICE facility after being detained.

The Illinois Coalition of Immigrant and Refugee Rights said their Help Hotline is getting its highest volume of calls since January; they typically get 100 calls per month, now they are getting up to 500 calls in a single day. 

Businesses are feeling the effects of the activity too, officials said. The Little Village Chamber of Commerce said their businesses have seen a 40% to 50% drop in revenue, and some are on the brink of closing from a combination of the decreased traffic and new tariffs.

Chicago Public Schools board members also said ICE activity may be affecting classrooms; one board member said there has been a drop of 12,000 students enrolled this year, primarily English learners that they believe is correlated with ICE fears. The board member also said one elementary school saw 80 absences in a single day, the highest number they ever recorded.

Elected leaders and immigration advocacy groups are starting weekly press briefings to update residents on federal immigration efforts in Chicago and resources available to them for help.

The first briefing will be held Thursday on Archer Avenue across from Kelly High School in the city's Brighton Park neighborhood. Participants include the Illinois Legislative Latino Caucus, the Resurrection Project, the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, the Brighton Park Neighborhood Council, the Latino Policy Forum, the Illinois Latino Agenda and the Southwest Organizing Project.

Organizers say the briefings will allow them to help residents separate facts from fiction and connect people with resources to keep them safe. 

As the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Chicago ramps up, the White House has sent mixed signals over the past day about possibly sending in the National Guard.

President Trump on Tuesday appeared to backtrack on sending in troops to Chicago, saying "We're going to be announcing another city that we're going to very shortly."

Gov. JB Pritzker's sources inside the White House have signaled Chicago might no longer be the primary focus of the Trump administration's National Guard effort, and although Pritzker said it's a good sign a troop deployment isn't imminent in Chicago, he stressed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts in Chicago are just getting started, with agents netting more than a dozen arrests in recent days.

"They clearly have not gone out in full force yet here, with seemingly the number of people from ICE that they intended to have on the ground working. We haven't seen all of those folks yet, but I anticipate that we will," Pritzker said.  

In a post on social media, the Department of Homeland Security claimed several people officials described as "the worst of the worst" have been arrested under "Operation Midway Blitz."

Officials said the people arrested included "pedophiles, rapists, and other violent thugs."

While Homeland Security listed several people who had been arrested on various charges – including rape, sexual abuse of a child, and DUI – it did not provide any details on where or when the people were taken into custody.

The recent arrival of Gregory Bovino, the U.S. Border Patrol official who led controversial raids in Southern California, is a signal the immigration operations in Chicago could expand in short order. But, so far, there have been no widespread ICE raids and no sign of the National Guard. 

Gov. JB Pritzker said about 200 ICE agents and 100 vehicles are positioned in and around the city, including outside courthouses where immigrants show up voluntarily for hearings. 

"These are not people running away from authority, these are people seeking authority to stay in this country," Pritzker said. 

While the Trump administration calls this a "blitz," Gov. Pritzker calls it an overreach. The divide between the president and governor is so deep, the two aren't even talking. 

Pritzker said he won't call the president, arguing he doesn't need help and that any call could be used against the state in court. 

The conversation and confusion continue over how big ICE enforcement will get and whether the National Guard will come to Chicago.

Those questions are still left with no definitive answer. However, there are some new details, including rough estimates on how many additional ICE agents are in the city currently and how many are expected to arrive.

Tensions have been rising in parts of Chicago as the mobilization of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents has ramped up in the Windy City — the Trump administration is calling it "Operation Midway Blitz."

Southside neighborhoods targeted by ICE have been noticeably quiet, as many residents fear for themselves, their friends, and their family. Community organizers say they have even postponed Mexican Independence Day events to protect people.  

Activist groups and protestors took to the streets of downtown Chicago to rally and march against the Trump administration's immigration crackdown underway in the city.

Organizers with the coalition against the Trump agenda are calling an "emergency protest."

Protest organizers said the real criminals are the people in the White House, not the immigrants the administration is going after.

Gov. JB Pritzker met with refugee rights advocates on Tuesday as the Trump administration's immigration enforcement, "Operation Midway Blitz," continued in Chicago.

Pritzker held a roundtable discussion in Brighton Park with leaders from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights to discuss ongoing federal deployments and the protection of constitutional rights.

The governor and Mayor Brandon Johnson both have said they have received no formal communication or information from the Trump Administration on their deportation operation in Chicago.

Fear has been spreading fast in Chicago's immigrant community since the Trump administration officially launched its deportation effort, dubbed Operation Midway Blitz.  

A community group canvassing in the Pilsen neighborhood said they always want members of the immigrant community to understand their rights and have an emergency plan, but stressed it's particularly important with the federal immigration crackdown underway.

"The first question should be, 'Am I free to go?' If the answer is no, then you should say, 'I am exercising my right to remain silent,'" said Tovia Siegel, director of organizing and leadership for The Resurrection Project.

Pilsen's El Grito Music Festival is still on despite fears of ICE raids in Chicago. 

Organizers said "El Grito de Independencia de Mexico" will move from Harrison Park to St. Paul Catholic Church as a safety measure against the potential dangers of immigration operations. It will still be held Monday, Sept. 15, the day before Mexican Independence Day.

Gov. Pritzker has said he believes the Trump administration planned what they now call Operation Midway Blitz to coincide with Mexican Independence Day celebrations in Chicago. 

"Canceling is not an option," said Teresa Fraga, president of El Comite Cultural Mexicano de Chicago. "We would only be open to it if there is imminent danger, but we are in the best place to hold it because it will be held in the street but we have a church if that danger becomes imminent."

Organizers of the Pilsen festival urged people to celebrate while encouraging those who do not feel safe to celebrate in their homes.

Despite the similar names, this is a different event than the El Grito Chicago festival, which organizers postponed last week over ICE operation fears. 

Gov. Pritzker said the state is looking out for ICE agents to ramp up significantly from what has been seen in Chicago so far, he said Tuesday.

Speaking after meeting with immigrant and refugee rights groups, the governor said that ICE is "somewhere on the ground here," but "we haven't seen the bulk yet."

"We know they're gathering steam," Pritzker said. 

Pritzker said federal agents have come with about 100 vehicles and plan to have more than 100 agents on the ground. He said he's already heard from communities about how afraid people are.

"They're afraid to come out of their homes, they're afraid to go shopping, they're afraid to take their children to school because they have mixed-status households," Pritzker said. "I'm worried for our communities."

He implored immigration agents to "take it down about three notches," and said added, "We need [Acting ICE Director] Tom Homan to focus on something other than his failures in Illinois."

Gregory Bovino, a U.S. Border Patrol official who led immigration enforcement raids in southern California this summer, has arrived in Chicago, two people familiar with the matter told CBS News.

Bovino appeared to preview his deployment to Chicago last week, saying in a video he shared on social media that his team would be "taking this show on the road, to a city near you."

"We're gonna trade these palm trees for some skyscrapers, and the mission continues," he said to the tune of Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again."

In California, Bovino oversaw an effort by Customs and Border Protection, dubbed Operation At Large, which included arrests outside of Home Depot stores and a show-of-force at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles that involved mounted Border Patrol agents and armored vehicles.

An "emergency protest" has been planned in downtown Chicago for Tuesday evening. 

Several organizers, including the Coalition Against the Trump Agenda, the Chicago Teachers Union, the Illinois Coalition for Immigration and Refugee Rights and Untied Working Families have put together the rally and march at 5 p.m. starting at Congress Plaza Garden North at the intersection of Ida B Wells Drive and Michigan Avenue.

CATA and ICIRR were also behind the weekend rally that drew hundreds downtown to denounce the Trump administration's actions. 

Members of the Chicago Teachers Union passed out "know your rights" flyers in the city's Latino communities over the weekend as residents braced for the Trump administration to start major immigration raids. 

"They're intentional about what they're doing, and we are intentional about what we're doing. We're making sure that every community in this city knows their rights," said CTU member Diane Castro.

In a community near Midway additional signs have joined familiar street sweeping notices tied to trees letting people know ICE is in the area and are not welcome.
