Illinois State Police say 11 people were arrested this morning outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing facility in suburban Broadview. Members of the NAACP rallied in Chicago against the Trump administration’s deployment of federal troops in Black communities.

To help sound the alarm, many of them are arming themselves with whistles. WBEZ’s Anna Savchenko brings us that story.
