Broadview

Protesters in Broadview, Illinois, lined the lawn of the local immigration detention center with symbolic tombstones as part of a vigil for immigrant rights. The display was intended to honor migrants who have died or suffered in custody and detention-related circumstances, and to press for more humane immigration enforcement policies in the United States.

Demonstrators gathered for a peaceful vigil outside the Broadview ICE processing facility in the Chicago area, marking one year since the launch of Operation Midway Blitz, the federal immigration enforcement operation. Participants gathered to remember those affected by the raids and to continue protesting immigration enforcement actions in the region.
