The 15 nautical mile TFR over Chicago’s city center has naturally cleared, we will see if they extend it any further or re-upped.

Broadview

Things have calmed down and protesters are naturally slowly leaving.

And now protesters are slowly moving back to where they were before they were kicked out. As a county officer said he doesn’t really care or understand the village ordinance.

Okay after moving protesters away, they gave up and fell back to where they were before this all started and Broadview PD has left and 25th is open again.

County Sheriff is clearing out the protesters, no real violence officers have their batons out but are just walking slowly and shooing people away.

A man in orange and wrapped in a American Flag got the attention of Cook County Sheriff’s police to ask if they’ll enforce the 6:00 protest curfew, the officer in command said only if Broadview police try to enforce it.

Went to check out the other side and there’s a hundred or so still rallying on the 25th and Harvard side of things.

And like with previous nights I’ve been out here, everyone has packed and left to meet the 6:00 P.M. protest curfew imposed by the village of Broadview.

After some speeches about non-violent revolution and resistance from state repression, the program outside Beach Street is over and people are packing up. (Note, I got here only recently so presumably they’ve been here longer)

Current view outside the Broadview, around 50 or so people with lawn chairs, yoga mats sitting a listening to speeches from Jane Goodall.

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals PARTIALLY grants the stay sought by the Trump Administration.

The stay is GRANTED as to federalization of the National Guard.

But it is DENIED as to deployment.

So deployment still BLOCKED, but troops "do not need to return to their home states."

25th Ave will be opening shortly. ISP gave a final warning to not go into the road or folks will be arrested.

Tyler Pasciak LaRiviere @tylerplariviere.bsky.social · 2d

And he’s free to go.

Rabbi Michael Ben Yosef has left and now it’s just media and police kinda in an awkward stand off. 25th Ave is still closed.

And at 6:00 Rabbi Michael Ben Yosef has told people the protest is over and to disperse. 25th Avenue is currently closed. Most of the protesters are leaving most of the media and content creators are still hanging out.

Well with a little help from Broadview Police Department and ISP, the protesters have moved over towards the 25th Avenue and Harvard side of things, but protest curfew is coming close so PD told them to get on the sidewalk.
