(161,129 posts)34. I posted a quote wtih a link to an article about the protests AT the ICE facility upthread (that you ignored)
(she was apparently unable to use the bathroom at the ICE (federal) facility and went to the municipal building and was refused there as well)
The interesting "caveat" for the ICE facility was derived from the remark from the town spokesperson -
Protesters arrested outside Broadview ICE facility in Illinois as governor slams DHS Secretary Noem’s visit

Village of Broadview spokesperson David Ormsby told CNN in a statement, “We are distressed to hear that the bathrooms are unavailable at the ICE facility.”

The ICE facility was apparently teeming with local cops dealing with the protestors and trying to keep them at bay and there may have been some altercation between the local cops to keep people away from the building, including her, and directed them elsewhere.
The rancor is shown in the above-linked article where further down it says this -

Noem visited Broadview’s Village Hall unannounced to ask for a meeting with Mayor Katrina Thompson, who was out at the time, the spokesperson said.
“The mayor returned her visit,” Ormsby said. “Mayor Thompson went to the ICE center, accompanied by the Broadview Police Chief Thomas, and officers, to ask for the illegal fence to be dismantled. The mayor was told by agents at the gate the secretary was unavailable to meet.”

Most people don't need an entourage when going to the restroom unless they are planning to snort coke.
