Chaos broke out outside an immigration processing center in Chicago on Friday as anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agitators clashed with law enforcement.
Multiple arrests followed after demonstrators blocked traffic and ignored orders to disperse, according to Fox Chicago.
Video from the scene shows federal agents and Illinois State Police scuffling with protesters and taking several individuals into custody. The facility, located in Broadview about 12 miles from downtown, has been a longstanding protest site for years.
From Fox News:
According to a FOX News reporter, 21 people — 12 men and nine women — were arrested outside the facility.
Several officers sustained minor injuries when demonstrators attempted to breach a restricted roadway leading toward the ICE building. Law enforcement pushed the crowd back, FOX News reports.
Officials have not yet released additional details about the arrests. However, video from the scene shows Illinois State Police in scuffles with protesters and taking several people into custody.
Authorities have not confirmed an exact arrest count. A large presence of federal agents, state police, and protesters remained outside the facility as of Friday morning.
The confrontation occurred the same day 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, launched Sept. 8 by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE, targets criminal illegal aliens in the Chicago area.

Female “pastors” chant “No ICE, no KKK, no fascist USA” outside a Chicago-area detention facility.
The media will then create stories portraying the Trump administration as evil when these maniacs are rightfully shoved and pepper sprayed for obstructing. pic.twitter.com/8olTS8Wx1w
