Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is operating new administrative offices at 1111 W. 22nd Street in Oak Brook, IL. The office is part of a nationwide expansion by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to hire more agents.
The Village of Oak Brook has stated that because the offices are being used for administrative work rather than detention, they comply with local zoning regulations. Regardless, other people who work at and utilize the building are not comfortable sharing space with this federal department as they carry out the unlawful actions of the current administration.
Join others on March 28th during the national No Kings day to peacefully resist the presence of ICE in our community.
