BREAKING: Far-left rioters swarm ICE facility near Chicago

Original article below.

Anti-ICE agitators on Friday attempted to stop a federal vehicle from entering an ICE facility in the Chicago suburb of Broadview. Pepper balls and tear gas were deployed in an attempt to break up the crowd. Per Fox News, arrests have been made.

Footage captured by The Blaze’s Julio Rosas showed the crowd, many of whom were wearing all black and face masks, crowding around the front of a large SUV as it attempted to enter the facility. The agitators were seen banging on the vehicle’s hood and windows.

Per Fox 32, this is the fourth straight Friday of protests outside the facility over the transfer of detainees to out-of-state holding centers. Last Friday, 10 people were arrested after the group of agitators attempted to block the driveway to the processing center.

According to DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, federal agents confiscated a firearm brought to the riot: "I mean, we just saw, and we actually just announced that earlier today, about 30 minutes ago, we confiscated a firearm from a riot that's happening right now at our Broadview facility in Chicago. And this is just two days after what just happened with this deranged individual opening fire indiscriminately on our ICE facility and the vans down there that led to the killing of one of the detainees and the serious injury of two of them. And I thank God that our law enforcement was not injured and everyone's alive, but we're fearful we're going to see more of this.

"And so we're certainly going to be hardening security," McLaughlin said, pointing out "the dehumanization and the demonization of our law enforcement from these media pundits and from the political left. And it has to stop now. We keep on saying, I can't tell you how many times we've had this same conversation, and yet we're just seeing more and more bloodshed."

Outside the facility, agitators were heard chanting "arrest ICE," "shoot ICE," and "shoot the f*ckers." This comes after a shooting at a Dallas ICE facility, in which one detainee was killed and two others injured by gunman Joshua Jahn, who wanted to "give ICE agents real terror." Jahn fatally shot himself during the shooting.
