BROADVIEW, IL – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a press release earlier in September in light of the escalating presence of rioters outside of the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing facility the Broadview, highlighting the sort of criminal illegal aliens anti-ICE rioters and politicians are trying to prevent from being apprehended and deported.
ICE’s Broadview processing facility has been the site of ongoing protests which have escalated to ostensible riots since mid-September, with one stand-off between federal law enforcement and rioters resulting in 16 arrests on September 19th with fencing erected around the facility subsequently to ensure operations cannot be obstructed by the anti-ICE agitators.
Much of the anti-ICE activity centered around the Broadview facility pertains to the ongoing Chicago immigration enforcement operations, which officials say as many as 500 illegal immigrants have been apprehended in the area since the launch of the operation.
On September 22nd, Homeland Security issued a press release dubbed, “Meet the Criminal Illegal Aliens Violent Rioters and Sanctuary Politicians Want Released from ICE Custody,” with the press release explicitly calling out the anti-ICE activities taking place outside the agency’s Broadview processing facility.
“The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today released information on the criminals who were held at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Broadview Processing Center,” the press release reads, adding, “when rioters and sanctuary politicians obstructed law enforcement, threw tear gas cans, rocks, bottles, and fireworks, slashed tires of cars, blocked the entrance of the building, and trespassed on private property.”
The press release goes on to list some of the unsavory criminal illegal aliens that are being processed at the Broadview facility, highlighting that the sorts of individuals these rioters and politicians are advocating for happen to be people who’ve been arrested for, or convicted of, charges ranging from domestic violence to fentanyl distribution.
Notable detainees featured in the Homeland Security release are as follows:
Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin characterized the matter in provocative but accurate terms, saying in a statement, “These rioters in Illinois are fighting to keep rapists, murderers, and other violent criminals loose on Illinois streets. Instead of rioting, they should be thanking ICE officers who every single day wake up and make our communities safer.”

Tricia McLaughlin summed it up pretty well in the last paragraph of this article. Democrats supporting these dirtbags is one of the prime reasons their party is disintegrating. Thanks to Greg Hoyt for this.
