Things got crazy again outside an ICE processing facility in Broadview, Illinois, on Friday.
About 100 anti-ICE activists were gathered outside the facility. The Blaze's Julio Rosas caught the action.
When agents tried to get by in a van, the anti-ICE crew tried to block the van, with them all hanging on it and banging on the van as it tried to get into the center. "I believe that we will win!" they chanted. "Whose streets? Our streets."
Warning for graphic language in the following videos:

In the second video, however, they found out it wasn't a smart idea as they then had pepper balls fired at them. You can see them then fleeing the van, and one of them got hit right in the head with a pepper ball.

Agents continued to light them up as they continued to block the road.

Some people in the crowd have left but there are still people blocking the road.@theblaze pic.twitter.com/e28KBbmHnh
Then you had some shouting, "Arrest ICE," and multiple people shouted to "Shoot ICE!" Then one continued shouting, "Shoot the f***ers!"

One guy takes it further by adding, “Shoot the fu*kers! Shoot the fu*kers!”@theblaze pic.twitter.com/QjMXQip535
At this point, after the shooting attack on the Dallas ICE processing facility earlier in the week, this is even more disturbing.
At least two people were ultimately arrested after agents fired more tear gas and pepper balls to push the activists back.

Hopefully, they got and/or identified the people who were shouting threats.
There have been multiple actions at that same facility in the past, as we reported, including one involving a Democratic Congressional candidate.

This is crazy and cannot continue, especially in the wake of what happened in Dallas. This is not a peaceful protest. They need to take more action to protect the facility and to deal with this.
But any way they slice it, they're going to keep failing because actions like these aren't going to stop ICE.
