More arrested in Broadview protests
Illinois State Police say 11 people were arrested Friday morning after they repeatedly blocked a street outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview.

ISP noted that arrested individuals would be taken to the Broadview Police Department or the Cook County Jail in Chicago.
Shutdown impacting federal courts
