Tensions escalate at Broadview ICE processing center

BROADVIEW, Ill. (WGN) — Tensions ran high on Sunday night outside of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, where about 20 to 30 protestors gathered along Beach Street.

What was happening inside the gates remains unclear, but outside, demonstrators clashed with ICE agents.

WGN-TV crews observed armed and masked agents in full gear guarding vehicles leaving the property, including a bus and two SUVs.
