CHICAGO (WLS) — All of four people who appeared in court on Monday were charged following Saturday’s confrontation between protesters and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

The Department of Homeland Security says 11 people were arrested Saturday in Broadview, outside the ICE facility there.

Each of the four people charged are facing a felony count of assaulting a federal officer. Of them, two remain in custody for now, including one man whose supporters say is neurodivergent.

On Saturday, federal agents were attempting to expand their perimeter around that ICE processing facility, which, according to a legal complaint, some people refused to retreat from. Among them were Ray Collins and his fiancée, Jocelyne Roblebo. Both were seen in a social media post from ICE.

Upon their arrests, both were found to be armed. But while both have Concealed-Carry Licenses, in court on Monday, a federal judge released Robledo, but ordered Collins detained, calling into question his judgement over bringing an armed weapon into a volatile situation. Their attorney, Richard Kling, spoke publicly after court.

“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,” Kling said.

Also held, at least temporarily, is 26-year-old Paul Ivery, who, according to the legal complaint, shouted an expletive while threatening to kill Border Patrol officers, who were standing nearby. An agent ran after Ivery and, during a struggle, Ivery allegedly grabbed the back of the agent’s helmet and pulled the agent’s head down.

Ivery, who is neurodivergent, had a large group of defenders in court.

“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.

Those challenges, said Ivery’s longtime neighbor, must be considered by the court.

“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,” Gerou said.

Hubert Mazur is the fourth person facing charges.

Ivery is being held until at least Wednesday, when he will be back in court for a detention hearing.

Collins has been ordered held until his trial. His attorney says he will file an emergency request for a release.

Meanwhile, DHS also says two guns were recovered, and they are investigating what appears to be some sort of explosive device that was found near the facility.
