Illinois quick hits: More arrested in Broadview protests; shutdown impacting federal courts
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 said there are two designated protest zones, and Illinois law provides that individuals cannot stand on a road and block traffic.
ISP noted that arrested individuals would be taken to the Broadview Police Department or the Cook County Jail in Chicago.
Shutdown impacting federal courts
Federal courts are reducing operations and stopping payments to employees due to the partial shutdown of the U.S. government.
Virginia Kendall, chief judge of the U.S. District Court in Chicago, said in a statement Friday that the lapse in appropriations required a workforce reduction in the U.S. Attorney’s office and other agencies, especially with respect to civil cases.
