Federal Judge Certifies Class Action Over Broadview ICE Facility Conditions

Following Operation Midway Blitz, which arrested approximately 1,600 people in the Chicago area in September 2025, hundreds were transported to the Broadview ICE facility. Detainees filed an emergency class action alleging inhumane conditions and denial of access to counsel. A federal judge certified the class action and issued a temporary restraining order mandating facility improvements, later extended in December 2025.
