Illinois State Troopers assisting ICE

Tensions high between troopers, protesters at Broadview ICE facility; several arrested

Protests outside the Broadview ICE facility began early with tense moments between Illinois state troopers and demonstrators and several people have been arrested Friday morning.

The scene has erupted with intermittent chaos throughout the morning though no apparent injuries have happened.

Department of Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem and Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino were spotted on the roof of the facility, ABC7 reported.

........

At least three state police officers were armed with long guns as lines of protesters stood on either side of the street.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this picture?

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.
