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.
