Protests are becoming tense in Chicago, and the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security is denied access to the city building to pee

According to Fox News Network, Secretary of Homeland Security Noam said on Friday that she and staff in the suburbs of Chicago attempted to enter a government building shortly after being rejected.

Norma wrote on social media platform X, “Just in Illinois, my team and I were blocked from entering Broadway City Hall and we just wanted to get into the next toilet quickly.”

She criticized the attitude of Illinois Governor Pritzker's administration towards federal law enforcement officers. "This is a public building, and Broadview can get at least $1 million in federal funds every year. It's a shame that Pritzker and his people treat our law enforcement officers like this."

A live video showed Nome and his staff approaching the building when an entourage asked through the door: "Can we use your bathroom?" Someone inside the door responded: "No!" Norm then replied calmly: "Okay, thank you." Then he turned around and left.

Broadway officials said Norman had visited without notice on Friday morning and hoped to meet with Broadway Mayor Catherine Thompson, who was not in the town hall at the time.

“Mayor Thompson then went to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Center accompanied by the Broadway Police Director and several police officers to request the removal of the illegal fence.

However, Homeland Security officials insisted that the stay had nothing to do with any meetings.

Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, told Fox News: "She didn't ask for a meeting at all, she just wanted to use the bathroom. This is ridiculous."

When the “toilet wave” occurred, the situation outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) handling center in Broadway became tense. On the same day, federal agents arrested more than a dozen protesters during the demonstration. Fox journalist saw on the scene that law enforcement officers fired pepper bullets, tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd that obstructed federal action.
