Broadview Sues Feds Over 'Illegal' Fence Near Suburban ICE Facility (Chicago area)

BROADVIEW — The Village of Broadview is suing the federal government over the installation of a large fence around the embattled U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in the southwest suburb.

The suit, filed Friday by the Berwyn-based Del Gado Law Group, accuses ICE and Homeland Security officials of illegally blocking the public way outside ICE’s processing facility, creating issues for emergency services trying to get to the facility or to nearby businesses.

After days of protests outside the facility at 1930 Beach St. in Broadview, ICE on Sept. 23 erected an 8-foot-tall fence north of its building. The fence bisects Broad Street and cuts off commute routes for several private businesses located on the southern end of the street. Prior to the fence going up, demonstrators sought to gather on Beach Street to prevent federal vehicles from entering the gated parking lot of the facility.
