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

Broadview officials had sued, saying 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.

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

Broadview police handcuff at least 4 protesters 

Broadview police handcuffed at least four protesters outside the ICE facility on Friday morning. 

Over 50 people gathered outside the facility Friday morning.

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. 

Police worked to direct crowds to the designated protest area. 

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. 

Clashes between police and protesters began when five or six protesters locked arms and stepped right onto the other side of the concrete barriers in front of state police. 

Cook County Sheriff's officials said four people were arrested and charged with resisting and obstruction.  

U.S. Senator Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth visited the Broadview ICE facility on Friday afternoon. The visit was planned in response to oversight requests regarding conditions inside the facility. 

"This is totally unnecessary," Durbin said.

The senators said they've asked to visit the ICE facility in Broadview, but have been denied access.

"This is the fourth time we've asked in the last several weeks. We started at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. All along the way, we just want to be briefed on what they're doing," Durbin said. "If this is so secret, how can it be right?"

Durbin and Duckworth spoke to protesters who have been demonstrating in Broadview for weeks, bringing them a case of water and thanking them for staying outside the ICE facility.

Durbin called the Trump Administration's actions "political theater." 

Duckworth said the Trump administration needs to let local officials, specifically law enforcement, do their jobs. 

"It is not appropriate to militarize our city," she said. "I condemn what is happening with ICE." 

Federal court blocks National Guard deployment in Illinois for 2 weeks

This comes after a federal judge on Thursday granted a restraining order temporarily blocking the Trump administration's deployment of National Guard troops in Illinois, after state and local leaders objected to the deployment.  

The restraining order expires at 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 23, but Perry has scheduled a telephone hearing for 9 a.m. on Oct. 22 to determine if it should be extended for another 14 days.
