BROADVIEW, Ill. (WLS) — ABC7 is watching to see what happens next with National Guard troops in the Chicago area.

A federal judge temporarily blocked the deployment to our area, but the Trump administration has already filed a notice of appeal.

The first large-scale weekly demonstration outside the Broadview Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility since that ruling is expected to get underway on Friday morning.

Based on the judge’s order, for a two-week period, the National Guard is barred from being used in operations, but we will see if they still have a physical presence in Broadview.

Chopper 7 spotted National Guard troops at the Army Reserve training center in Elwood on Friday morning.

Judge April Perry’s decision came hours after the Guard arrived at the Broadview immigration facility on Thursday. Troops could be seen walking around and lingering near the facility.

The Trump administration has argued that the bolstered military presence is needed to protect federal property and employees. But the judge said the government’s claims about an out-of-control public on the brink of rebellion were not credible.

The White House responded to the judge’s move to grant a temporary restraining order, writing, in part, “President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities and we expect to be vindicated by a higher court.”

Judge rules fencing surrounding Broadview ICE facility must come down

Meanwhile, a judge has ordered the removal of a fence surrounding the Broadview facility.

Attorneys for the federal government argued that the fencing across Beach Street was needed to conduct business and to protect vehicles and personnel, after conflicts erupted during protests of ICE action during operation “Midway Blitz.”

The village of Broadview said the fence was put up without village approval, and it blocks emergency response.

The judge sided with Broadview officials.

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson issued a statement, saying, “This is a validation of local law and, most importantly, a decisive win for public safety. The judge’s decision confirms that the illegal fence constructed by ICE is not only a clear defiance of Broadview’s ordinance but an unacceptable and escalating risk to our Beach Street businesses, their customers, and our first responders. The law of probability dictates that the danger increases daily. The court has spoken clearly and unequivocally. Now, it remains to be seen if ICE will respect the judge’s order and dismantle this hazard immediately, or if they will continue their pattern of defiance.”

Protest hours in Broadview are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, but it is not clear if demonstrators plan to adhere to the guidance.
