VIDEO THREAD: Illinois State and local police joined forces with ICE and other federal agents to push back protesters outside the Broadview ICE facility, making several arrests Friday morning.

Unlike prior weeks, agents used blunt force rather than chemical irritant weapons.

ICE agents waved as they drove by.
3) "Get back!" shouted Illinois State troopers using batons as they shielded ICE agents in vehicles from the protesters.

Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills, who has previously been critical of ICE, watched the situation closely, in person.

Just now: Woman protesting outside Broadview ICE facility is shot repeatedly with sting balls, thrown to the ground, and ultimately maced point blank in the face as she attempts to block ICE agents from leaving the facility in a vehicle.
After initially appearing to let the woman go, ICE agents approached the circle of activists attempting to treat the woman’s facial burns from mace, and arrested her, bringing her into the ICE facility she has been protesting today.
Shortly after that protester who had been maced, shot with less lethals, and thrown to the ground was taken inside the ICE facility, an ambulance arrived there as well.
