National Guard troops arrived late Wednesday night at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, Illinois, hours before a federal judge in Chicago temporarily blocked their deployment.

A village spokesperson confirmed Thursday morning that 45 members of the Texas National Guard came to the facility overnight. 

Around 1 a.m., uniformed soldiers were 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.

On their first full day on duty, federal troops were seen walking along the perimeter of a temporary fence erected outside the facility. Protesters were also seen outside the facility, along with Broadview and Illinois State police.

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."

About 500 National Guard troops — 200 from Texas, and 300 from Illinois who have been federalized — have been in position and ready for deployment. They are mobilized for an initial period of 60 days.

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."

In an interview, Thompson said the troops are not needed in the Chicago area.

"We didn't ask for it, the governor didn't ask for it, the mayor of Chicago didn't ask for it, and most certainly I'm not asking for them," she said.

Thompson said her first priority is the community living around the ICE facility in Broadview.

"The reality of it is is that we have a lot of people showing up that don't live here, and the residents are getting tired, and I am too," she said.

Late Thursday afternoon, a federal judge in Chicago issued a temporary restraining order blocking the deployment of any National Guard troops in Illinois for two weeks.

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. 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.

Perry's 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 the ICE facility in Broadview.

That order came down around 4:45 p.m., and as of 6:45 p.m. the soldiers who had been stationed at the ICE facility in Broadview were not there. 

It was not immediately clear if or when the troops outside the ICE facility in Broadview would leave. As of 10 p.m. Thursday, CBS News Chicago crews had yet to see the soldiers leave.

President Trump has suggested that regardless of what the court decides Thursday, he may decide to invoke the Insurrection Act, and still send troops to guard federal properties — some of which have been the sites of recent protests.

As far as the decision on the deployment of National Guard troops in Chicago goes, the case was on the U.S. District Court docket for Thursday as the State of Illinois v. Trump. The hearing on the case began at 11 a.m. at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse downtown.
