CHICAGO (WLS) — Another of the five people charged after protesters clashed with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Broadview over the weekend is being released from custody, pending trial.

A judge Wednesday read a letter of support from the mayor of Oak Park and from a student at Oak Park and River Forest High School, where Paul Ivery works in the cafeteria.

The judge later decided to release Ivery from custody, pending trial, ruling against the government. The judge said Ivery does not pose a threat to the community.

Prosecutors acknowledged his disability, asking that Ivery be released from jail, but be incarcerated at home pending his trial.

Ivery’s supporters packed the courtroom, as well.

They included not just his family, but people he works with at the high school. He’s worked in the lunchroom there for several years.

Oak Park Mayor Vicki Scaman was also in court. She said Ivery has an infatuation with law enforcement and walked to Broadview from his home in Oak Park.

“Paul to me demonstrates exactly what this country is about. Everyone that has known him, including members of our police department who work with him, mentor him, are very appreciative of what he contributes to our community,” Scaman said.

Ivery’s family and supporters left Chicago’s federal courthouse ecstatic.

“We are absolutely thrilled Paul is coming home. We wish that would have happened Monday,” family representative Scott Sakiyama said. “This isn’t over. Hopefully the government will take some time to reconsider what they are doing here. I think the judge subtly asked them to do that during the hearing. Hopefully this will be over soon.”

The Department of Homeland Security says, in all, 11 people were arrested Saturday. Five were charged.

Of the five people charged, three were released as their cases move forward, while two others, including Ivery, were initially held. Both were charged with assaulting a federal officer.

Advocates said the two are not the dangerous men they are being portrayed to be.

Images captured by ABC7 outside Broadview’s ICE processing facility Saturday evening show the moments after Ivery was arrested.

The 26-year-old from Oak Park is accused of threatening to kill border patrol agents, then allegedly grabbing an agent’s helmet and pulling the agent’s head down as he was being arrested.

The incident, was, according to a complaint, caught on body worn camera.

Ivery, says his longtime neighbor, is neurodivergent. His actions, she says, should be seen through the lens of his disability.

“It’s very important for people to know that Paul Ivery is not the face of domestic terrorism in the United States. He is a young man who has faced, overcome and lived with challenges in his life,” said Tara Gerou, Ivery’s neighbor.

In fact, according to the complaint, Ivery waived his Miranda rights and, in speaking to agents, he said that ICE agents were disrespectful toward the Broadview Police Department and veterans, which was the basis for his attending the protest.

“Everyone who has a chance to know Paul knows his admiration and complete infatuation with law enforcement,” Gerou said. “Another reason we are here is to advocate for his care, whether it’s a counselor or someone who understands intellectual disabilities to help him to navigate the situation he is now in.”

Ray Collins, who had a gun when he was arrested and has a Concealed-Carry License, is being held, pending trial.

“He has a weapon. He did not use it. He did not show it. he did not attempt to use it. His wife was being crushed against a wall by ICE people. He went to help his wife and that’s why he was arrested,” said the couple’s attorney, Richard Kling. “He had it lawfully. He had a conceal-carry card. He did nothing with the gun. What ended up happening is, his wife was being arrested. He went to his wife’s rescue, and that’s why he’s charged.”

King said he is filing an emergency request for release.

Ivery will be released from the Metropolitan Correctional Center at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
