Do you want to know what it feels like to have real representation in your government? Like a real young person who knows what the internet is and has been dealing with far right wingers online for years, holds firm progressive values, supports Palestine, and loves immigrants?

Protests at the Chicago area ICE detention center are now being limited only to Beach Street going forward, according to a new executive order that Mayor Katrina Thompson has signed in consultation with the state and county, she says at a press conference this morning.

ICE is all over the city and burbs today, including Waukegan. Multiple reports on social media from people who have found empty work vans and are trying to locate family of their owners. This is a near daily occurrence now.

"As I have repeatedly said, I respect, support, and defend the protestors' right to calm the fuck down and just let our neighbors be taken from their families by the secret police. If you could just sit quietly in the area provided and let the good agents do their work."

This is capitulation.

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson's full statement, in which she says she will sign an EO permitting protest "only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street," is up on the village's website.

"There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest," Thompson says.

Image text:

Broadview Shrinks Protest Safety Zones

The following statement can be attributed to Village of Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson:

“The protests at the ICE facility on Saturday night degenerated into chaos. There were 15 arrests, and 10 of those were around the age of my own daughter. As a mother and a mayor, I am mad. Broadview didn’t choose to have the ICE facility in our community. But it’s here. And so are Broadview residents. There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest. Too many are raising their fists rather than their voices, creating chaos at the expense of the people who call Broadview home. Broadview residents lack the protestors’ privilege to return to calm, quiet neighborhoods for undisturbed rest.

Therefore, I have issued a new executive order, in consultation with the Illinois State Police and Cook County Sheriff, that permits protests only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street.

There will no longer be a designated protest safety zone at 2000 South 25th Avenue between Lexington and Fillmore.

Additionally, it has been only God’s grace alone that a protester has not been struck and killed by a motorist on 25th Avenue given how frequently protesters dash onto this busy, four-lane street. This new
measure will provide for both the serenity of residents and safety of protestors.

As I have repeatedly said, I respect, support, and defend the protesters’ free and – peaceful – speech against the outrageous injustices and deplorable unprovoked chemical arms attacks by ICE agents against American citizens, journalists, and ministers that put Broadview police and firefighters in harms’ way.

Nevertheless, my first priority is to defend public safety and the residents who live here and people who work here. They deserve stability, safety, and respect, a quality of life that is currently being denied to them. They deserve the love and kindness that they expect by being Broadview residents.”

Noting for no reason at all: the fortifications installed around the detention center (fence, barricades) and the continued extension of the free speech zone have severely limited our ability to document different agents and agencies coming and going compared to just one month ago.

For folks asking about out of state sheriffs seen at Broadview this weekend—this is from a month ago, it was already happening. We have seen Dodge County deputies on more than one occasion (this man photographed is actually a jail transport officer, however).

unraveled @unraveledpress.com · Aug 29

Due to state law, ICE detainees are moved from IL out of the state to neighboring states with official detention centers (or, to flights at Gary Airport).

We watched transport officers separate people into sheriff's vans bound for IN and, according to the driver's uniform, Dodge County, WI.
