Four individuals protesting against ICE were taken into custody during a tumultuous demonstration at a DHS location in Chicago on Friday. This happened after a federal judge halted President Trump’s plan to deploy National Guard troops to the city.

Clashes occurred between Illinois State Police in riot gear and a disorderly group near the ICE facility in Broadview, amidst ongoing protests in Chicago following Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, as reported by WLS.

Protestors chanted “the whole world is watching” as baton-wielding officers scuffled with the pushy group, video circulating online showed.

Images and videos captured at least four demonstrators being forcibly removed from the scene by their clothing and bags, with Illinois State Police officers later handcuffing and escorting them away.

Those who were arrested have been charged with resisting and obstruction, the Cook County Sheriff’s Office said, according to WLS.

Demonstrations have raged across the Second City since Trump initiated “Operation Midway Blitz” — a push to crackdown on illegal immigration across the city which has been resisted by local leaders and protesters.

Trump sent several hundred National Guard soldiers to protect DHS agents as they carry out deportations in Chicago — but on Thursday, Biden-appointed District Judge April Perry granted Illinois’ request for a temporary restraining order to block the National Guard deployment.

Friday’s demonstration came a day after protesters Ray Collins and Jocelyn Robledo — who were carrying loaded weapons when they clashed with ICE officers outside the same Broadview ICE facility on Sept. 27 — had their felony charges dropped after a local grand jury refused to indict them.

At another scene in Lincoln Square on Friday, a video editor for local WGN-TV, Debbie Brockman, was detained by ICE officers, the Chicago Tribune reported. 

She is accused of assaulting a federal law enforcement officer, according to DHS. 

Video showed Brockman taken down on the asphalt as someone shrieks “no!” and several Chicagoans circle around to record the interaction.

She is then placed in the backseat of an unmarked minivan which strikes another car as it speeds away from the gathering horde of dissenters, according to video circulating online.
