ICE protests in Broadview

Protesters clashed with federal officials Friday morning outside the U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement facility in the Chicago suburb of Broadview.

NBC Chicago reports that protesters surrounded a van trying to leave the facility. Armed guards attempted to move the crowd back and detained one individual.

Later, Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton and Chicago Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez showed up to join protesters.
