CHICAGO (WLS) — Four individuals appeared in court on Monday following a clash on Saturday involving protesters and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. All four face charges.
The Department of Homeland Security says 11 people were arrested Saturday in Broadview, outside the ICE facility there.

Each of the individuals has been charged with the felony offense of assaulting a federal officer. Presently, two of them remain in custody, including one individual whose supporters claim is neurodivergent.
The incident unfolded on Saturday as federal agents were expanding their perimeter at an ICE processing facility. According to a legal complaint, some individuals, including Ray Collins and his fiancée, Jocelyne Roblebo, did not comply with requests to move back. Both were identified in a social media post by ICE.
When arrested, it was discovered that both were carrying weapons. Despite holding Concealed-Carry Licenses, the federal judge decided to release Robledo on Monday but ordered Collins to remain detained, questioning his decision to bring a firearm to a tense environment. Their attorney, Richard Kling, commented after the court session.
“He lawfully possessed the gun, holding a conceal-carry license. He did not use the gun improperly. The charges stem from attempting to aid his wife during her arrest,” Kling explained.
Also temporarily detained is 26-year-old Paul Ivery. The legal complaint states that Ivery yelled a threat involving an expletive at nearby Border Patrol officers. During the ensuing chase and altercation, Ivery is accused of pulling down the agent’s helmet.
Ivery, who is neurodivergent, had a large group of defenders in court.
“It’s very important for people to know that Paul Ivery is not the face of domestic terrorism in the United States. He is a young man who has faced overcome and lived with challenges in his life,” said Tara Gerou, Ivery’s neighbor.
Those challenges, said Ivery’s longtime neighbor, must be considered by the court.
“Another reason we are here is to advocate for his care, whether it’s a counselor or someone who understands intellectual disabilities to help him to navigate the situation he is now in,” Gerou said.
Hubert Mazur is the fourth person facing charges.
Ivery is being held until at least Wednesday, when he will be back in court for a detention hearing.
Collins has been ordered held until his trial. His attorney says he will file an emergency request for a release.
Meanwhile, DHS also says two guns were recovered, and they are investigating what appears to be some sort of explosive device that was found near the facility.
