12-Hour Protest Aims To Block Broadview ICE Transfers As 'Midway Blitz' Escalates

Organizers plan a 12-hour demonstration at the Broadview ICE processing center, aiming to disrupt transfers tied to Operation Midway Blitz. The action follows last week’s blockade of a vehicle believed to be driven by an ICE agent. Activists frame Broadview as the Chicago region’s enforcement hub and vow continued resistance as ICE operations intensify. Officials say the blitz targets people with criminal records; community groups report rising hotline calls and legal aid demand.
