     Chaos erupted outside an immigration processing center in Chicago on Thursday when anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agitators clashed with law enforcement. They should arrested and prosecuted. 

     The incident led to multiple arrests after demonstrators blocked traffic and refused orders to disperse, according to Fox Chicago.  ideo from the scene shows federal agents and Illinois State Police in scuffles with protesters and then taking several people into custody.  The facility is located in Broadview, a western suburb of Chicago about 12 miles from downtown, and has been a longstanding protest site for years.

     Twenty-one people — 12 men and nine women — were arrested during the skirmishes and a few officers sustained minor injuries, a law enforcement source said.  A large crowd of protesters had gathered outside the facility, some waving placards reading “God Demands Freedom” and “Protest Is Patriotic,” while others held colorful signs shaped like butterflies.  A group then tried to move beyond concrete barriers and walk down the street toward the ICE facility, a move police considered a major violation, according to sources.

     Last week, a group known as the “Suburban Moms” staged a peaceful sit-in on the same street.  The scene appeared to calm later in the afternoon, with no additional arrests reported.  Those detained were taken to the Broadview ICE Processing Facility, officials said.  The incident comes after a federal judge ordered 13 detainees released and said hundreds more could qualify for home confinement, marking another setback for the Trump administration’s Operation Midway Blitz.  The operation was launched on Sept. 8 by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE targeting criminal illegal aliens in the Chicago area.
