   (NewsNation) — Some demonstrators at an immigration processing center   
   west of Chicago are expressing concern that members of the Illinois   
   State Police have been enlisted to keep protesters back, following   
   recent volatile confrontations with federal authorities.   
      
   The office of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat at odds with the   
   Trump administration, says the state officers are simply keeping   
   protesters safe from overzealous feds while protecting their First   
   Amendment rights. But some demonstrators say Illinois troopers are now   
   effectively shielding the Immigration and Customs Enforcement outpost in   
   suburban Broadview.   
      
   Previously, disruptors have blocked access to the ICE facility,   
   prompting federal authorities to use crowd-control methods, such as tear   
   gas, to disperse mobs. Over the weekend, the Illinois State Police has   
   been moving crowds back with wooden batons, herding them behind concrete   
   barriers that are meant to keep the street clear.

   Protesters like Ranell Conine told NewsNation they are confused by the   
   disconnect between Pritzker’s public comments about the Trump   
   administration and his use of state police to protect ICE.   
      
   “I think (Pritzker) needs to come and see the way that citizens are   
   being treated and the way that our right to protest is being oppressed   
   and challenged,” she said on Saturday.   
      
   A spokesperson for Pritzker said state authorities are not hiding behind   
   masks in Broadview, in contrast with federal agents.

   “They show their faces, they have proper identification, and they are   
   accountable to the people of Illinois,” the spokesperson said.   
      
   Illinois State Police are working with the Cook County Sheriff’s Office   
   and Broadview police outside the ICE facility and have arrested some   
   protesters.   
      
   The Trump administration says demonstrators have put federal authorities   
   in jeopardy as agents work to round up “the worst of the worst”   
   undocumented migrants in the Chicago region.
