At least 15 protesters were arrested, including a clergy member, outside the ICE facility in Broadview on Friday, amid the first major demonstration since a fence was removed by judge's orders.

About 100 protesters were outside the facility as of 9 a.m., with most of the crowd gathering before the designated protest hours set by the mayor of Broadview from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Among those taken into custody before 9 a.m. were a female member of the clergy and a person playing an instrument, apparently an accordion.

Multiple people were taken into custody by Illinois State Police in the morning, though the scene outside the facility has been fairly calm since. 

There was a scuffle earlier Friday morning between ISP and protesters before the first round of arrests. 

There also was a brief standoff between protesters and police Friday evening as officers from Broadview and Illinois State Police enforced a 6 p.m. protest curfew established by the village, but there were no arrests during that standoff, and the situation remained relatively quiet the rest of the night compared to earlier in the day.

Cook County Sheriff's officials said, as of 8 p.m., there had been 15 arrests on Friday in connection with protests in Broadview. Charges included resisting police and disobeying police orders.

Demonstrators have gathered outside the ICE facility every Friday for more than a month, but this is the first protest since the temporary fence erected by federal agents was taken down following a judge's order. The fence came down shortly before the 11:59 p.m. deadline on Tuesday, and the scene outside the facility has been largely calm and uneventful since.

Friday morning, many demonstrators were using megaphones to loudly confront local law enforcement at the scene, including Broadview police officers and troopers from Illinois State Police.

Additional concrete barriers have also been placed by the Illinois Department of Transportation near the entrance of the facility, a move officials said is meant to help keep protesters safe. Officials have closed off 25th Street and demonstrators have been moved to the designated "free speech zone."
