Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition. A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

At the Broadview, IL ICE detention center— IL state troopers are already pushing non-violent demonstrators out of the street and away from the ICE facility. One arrest so far.

ISP declares unlawful assembly again via loudspeaker now. Unsure why since all people are doing right now is standing on the sidewalk where they've been ordered to be. They're telling people they have to either disperse or return to designated free speech zone.

Everyone is out of the road and either in the ~free speech zone~ or on adjacent corners. Troopers with long batons in the street now. Across the intersection, they are tightly guarding protesters and press from stepping off the sidewalk.

ISP gets in formation and a number of them march away from the intersection, toward the parking lot neighboring the ICE facility (it belongs to a business, not ICE's lot). The crowd starts a rendition of The Imperial March.
