Federal Agents Disperse Protesters at Broadview ICE Facility During Operation Midway Blitz
Federal agents from ICE, Border Patrol, and the ATF used tear gas, pepper balls, and physical force to disperse protesters blocking access to the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, on September 27 and 28, 2025. The enforcement action took place as part of Operation Midway Blitz, a federal initiative targeting undocumented immigrants in the Chicago area.
Since mid-September, the operation has resulted in over 100 arrests. Protests against the facility began on September 22, with demonstrators demanding changes to immigration enforcement policies.
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced federal charges against individuals involved in obstructing federal operations. Meanwhile, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker criticized the tactics, calling them unlawful and un-American, and emphasized the need for lawful and humane treatment of protesters.
