Faith Leaders Arrested During Protest at Chicago-Area ICE Facility
People who lead religious groups gathered outside a place where immigrants are processed near Chicago.
They were protesting the government's rules about immigrants.
Nearly two dozen of these leaders were arrested by the police.
This protest is part of ongoing disagreements about how immigrants are treated.
Sometimes, judges have stepped in to limit how the government can arrest people.
In a separate but related event, some immigrants who were being held were ordered to be released by a judge.
Nearly two dozen people were arrested during a protest outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois.
The protestors included faith leaders demonstrating against the Trump administration's immigration enforcement.
The ICE center in Broadview has been a focal point for activists opposing federal immigration actions.
Demonstrations have occurred regularly since intensified ICE operations began in Chicago in September.
A separate federal judge ordered the release of 13 alleged immigration offenders held by ICE in the Chicago area.
