ICE TO USE BROADVIEW FACILITY AS 45-DAY CHICAGO-AREA ENFORCEMENT HUB; OFFICIALS PREP FOR PROTESTS

Broadview’s federal immigration facility at 1930 Beach St. will serve as a primary processing hub for a large-scale ICE/DHS campaign expected to run seven days a week for roughly 45 days, according to a letter from Mayor Katrina Thompson. Officials warn of potential protests and traffic impacts as the operation ramps up across the Chicago area. The report connects the Broadview staging to a requested DHS use of Naval Station Great Lakes for housing and logistics support, while Illinois leaders raise legal and public-safety concerns.
