#CCSO
Heard an officer say "let's do it" and then, in the dark, they tackle Rabbi Ben to the ground. He's being loaded into a CCSO wagon now. Broadview police also here screaming at people.

Aaaand that didn't last long. Protesters and prayer group have made their way across 25th for some chanting.

Lots more CCSO, ISP and Broadview PD arriving now.
October 10, 2025 at 12:43 PM
In addition to a drone, mobile PODs and (nonstop) choppers circling, surveillance now also includes CCSO on the roof of this business.

Happening now: we're at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago.

CCSO + Broadview police are telling protesters + press they can't stand on the west side of 25th Street for any reason.

We asked what the precise public safety issue is. They just said they're anticipating cars coming through.
October 10, 2025 at 12:26 PM
“We’re just here to make sure everyone is safe,” ISP and CCSO told us yesterday.
A riot team from ISP is here with helmets and batons.

Free speech protected.

How it looks when ICE drives past now: between the barricades and these CCSO diverters, their vehicles have a curved path away from protesters as far as they can be.

Again these are the officers under JB’s authority. Don’t need name patches “with this uniform.” At least five of the protesters arrested yesterday were arrested by ISP or CCSO.
Have seen a few troopers out here without their name patches. This one tells me they're not required to wear them "with this uniform."

Asked him to identify himself and he then told me his name is "Tad Nelson."

In Broadview, IL this morning outside the Chicago area ICE detention center—

Just rolled up, immediately saw ISP/CCSO arresting a protester w/ a guitar (he appears to be in good spirits over it).

ICE vehicles have been coming and going, including a large bus driven by a masked agent seen earlier.

Naples, FL at it AGAIN saying #HandsOff to the regime. The footprint at the intersection of the Collier County Courthouse was probably close to a half mile.

Way more LEO (NPD, CCSO, FHP) than before, plus some drone action 👀

6:10. Things are still chill and neither ISP nor CCSO (nor Broadview PD, though we haven't seen them in a bit) appear to be making any moves to enforce curfew.

nineteen people arrested during today’s protest outside the broadview ice detention center were charged with “obstruction/disorderly conduct/walking on highways,” per the latest update from ccso.

one person was charged with “mob action/obstruction/disorderly conduct.” one person’s charges tbd.

At the Broadview ICE facility.

A handful of ISP and Cook County Sheriff's Officers are milling about. They tell us they're here to "check things out" and "make sure it's safe."

Broadview police chief also just arrived. They're consulting and looking at the fence.

Sometimes a quick scroll through FB yields a gem.

CCSO is fed up and on one today.

"A woman employee resigned from the Carson City Sheriff’s Office in late August after an allegation was made that she misused their Flock camera system."

thirteen people were arrested on charges of "disobeying a police officer," per ccso news releases.

there's no criminal charge in illinois under that name, but there is a similar violation listed in the illinois vehicle code:

(lawyers plz correct me if i'm wrong)

We have to head off site shortly.

Most of the protest has dispersed, some handfuls of people lingering.

In the lot, IDOT workers with heavy machinery are now moving in some cement barricades.

Hearing 12-20 protesters were taken into custody. CCSO has already sent out a PR naming some of them.

We don’t always have such direct video evidence—or sometimes we do but don’t post to social media to protect privacy—but this happens a lot in Broadview.

Someone appears to be simply standing in the crowd, and for whatever reason, ISP/CCSO/BPD just grab them & invariably slam them to the ground.
@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

New, re: the ICE arrest yesterday at the Cook County court in Bridgeview, IL:

Though the Cook County Sheriff's Office said an ICE agent told a CCSO lieutenant that they had a valid warrant for the arrest, I've been handed an internal county document stating CCSO didn't actually see the warrant.
June 18, 2026 at 8:06 PM
great question.

i think it’s worth reiterating that beach street, where this protest occurred and the “free speech” zone is, has been closed to most vehicle traffic for weeks.

yet isp/ccso/broadview pd have prohibited anyone from being in the street—by force/arrest if necessary.
Besides the obvious intent to suppress free assembly, protest, & free speech - what on Earth do these cops think the protesters are suddenly going to do? Why do they need to be there in such force? They - clearly - are the ones escalating. Without them, people would stand in an intersection & pray.

commissioner michael scott jr. asks whether it's possible to terminate the contract based on "any bad actors." yes, says the ccso.

how soon would the county board be notified of data breaches? immediately, says jason hernandez of ccso. "we have the most to lose" from misuse of this tech, he says.

over the past few years, the cook county sheriff's office has been quietly opening new offices, including a handful of stations within the city of chicago focused on retail theft and carjackings.

it got me thinking: how many offices does the ccso actually have?

the answer? a lot.

Back at Broadview where ISP and CCSO are sitting with zip ties at the ready as protesters shout down passing ICE vehicles, yelling at them to show their faces, etc. Some shout at officers about taking orders from Trump as ISP vans arrive for shift change.

ccso has a gun range as far southwest as elwood (ten miles south of joliet) and an airport hanger as far north as wheeling.

also note the training academies at suburban community colleges.
