US Edition7th Circuit Stays Judge’s Order Restricting Immigration Agents’ Use of Riot Control Weapons
The 7th Circuit found the injunction overly broad and interfering with executive law enforcement, allowing for a narrower order; it cited use of tear gas and other riot control weapons.
- On Wednesday, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals halted U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis's Nov. 6 injunction limiting immigration agents' use of riot-control weapons, siding with the Trump administration.
- Ellis's injunction prescribed detailed operational rules, enumerating riot-control weapons and requiring two crowd warnings, limits on chokeholds, conspicuous badge numbers, and submission of internal guidance, raising separation-of-powers concerns.
- Earlier this month, filmed depositions showed U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino’s use of force, while Judge Ellis said he lied about not being hit before deploying tear gas in Little Village.
- The operation wound down late last week as DHS personnel moved out of Naval Station Great Lakes near Waukegan and the U.S. Department of Defense sent home approximately 200 Texas National Guard troops stationed near Joliet.
- While leaving open narrower relief, the court warned not to overread its ruling, noting evidence about federal agents' use of force over the last two months may support judicially tailored injunctions, and lawyers reported Broadview ICE processing facility held only four detainees earlier this week.

Out of control immigration: we ain't seen nothing yet
WILLIAM STEPHENS: On Immigration, adding to Europe’s enticing pull factors are the obvious push factors in Africa and Asia. If we are to cope with future challenges in this area, we need to balance the generosity of saying ‘Welcome’ with the courage of saying ‘No.’
A federal appeals court paused on Wednesday an order restricting the use of force by federal immigration agents in the Chicago area, after calling the measure "too broad" and "too prescriptive."
A U.S. appeals court has temporarily blocked an order limiting the application of federal immigration law in Chicago, arguing that the trial judge overstepped by imposing strict and far-reaching restrictions on how agents can interact with protesters and journalists.
