1.
The village of Broadview has initiated federal legal action against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security regarding a security fence constructed around an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility. Filed on Friday, the lawsuit seeks a temporary restraining order and immediate removal of the 8-foot-tall barrier. Village officials assert that DHS constructed the fence without proper notification and that it infringes upon municipal authority over public land.
