Five people were arrested during protests outside the ICE processing facility in Broadview Friday morning.
Concrete barriers that were installed on Beach Street entrance Thursday night are now lining both entrances.
Illinois State Police troopers dressed in riot helmets and holding wooden batons protected street access at 25th Avenue and Harvard.
Throughout the day, officers from Broadview, the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, Border Patrol and a suburban mutual team took turns keeping protesters away from ICE vehicles coming in and out.
Some Broadview municipal trucks also blocked protesters from getting into the street.
The local police presence has meant fewer pepper balls and tear gas being sprayed at protesters than last Friday.
WBBM counted about 50 police squad cars and SUVS in the area - plus a military vehicle and several black SUVS, including one carrying Board Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino.
Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem was briefly on the roof of the facility.
The influx of local law enforcement comes after Broadview has complained about the protests draining their resources.
At the Beach Street entrance, they set up concrete barriers Thursday night to keep the street open.
