WCPT 820 Interview: Robert Held

Filling in for Patti Vasquez, Paul Chivari and Ken Mejia-Beal are joined by Robert Held, Chicago attorney, president of the Chicago Council of Lawyers, anti-ICE activist, and former Air Force fighter pilot; he filed a federal complaint this morning seeking a temporary restraining order that would bar the village of Broadview from enforcing a designated “protest zone” outside the ICE detention facility. Held previously sued Broadview to remove a protest hour restriction, which was successful. The current lawsuit aims to allow protests on the sidewalk instead of a designated zone. Held criticized the government's efforts to stifle protests, citing incidents of violence and intimidation. He plans to sue an ICE agent who attacked him and is involved in a lawsuit in Memphis against ICE for retaliating against protesters.   Catch "Driving It Home with Patti Vasquez" weekdays from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Central on WCPT (heartlandsignal.com/programs/driving-it-home).   Follow us: Website: https://heartlandsignal.com WCPT Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WCPT820 Heartland Signal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeartlandSignal Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heartlandsignal  Heartland Signal X: https://x.com/HeartlandSignal WCPT 820 X: https://x.com/WCPT820 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartlandsignal Threads: threads.com/@heartlandsignal YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heartlandsignalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
