A number of open borders militants were arrested during the latest ‘protest’ outside a federal immigration facility on the outskirts of Chicago on Friday.
Agitators began gathering near the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing center in Broadview for a planned morning ‘demonstration.’

A group joined by alleged members of the clergy stood in front of a banner reading “God’s Love Knows No Borders” while singing phrases like “abolish ICE” and “free migrants now.”
“Free migrants now!”
“Abolish ICE!”
