Appeals court blocks order requiring Bovino to brief judge on Chicago immigration sweeps

  • On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis ordered Greg Bovino to brief her every evening with a daily 5:45 p.m. briefing on enforcement actions and constitutional compliance in Chicago, Illinois.
  • Amid weeks of tense encounters, the judge cited aggressive tactics in the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, following tear gas incidents near a Halloween parade in a Chicago neighborhood, as alleged by news outlets and protesters.
  • Ellis demanded Bovino produce all use-of-force reports since Sept. 2, required body cameras after tear gas concerns, ordered agent badges, banned certain riot control techniques, and set a Friday deadline for camera acquisition and training.
  • Ellis expressed confidence oversight will curb problematic tactics, saying nightly check-ins will prevent excessive force, while Bovino also faces a deposition with lawyers from both sides.
  • Operation Midway Blitz has produced more than 1,800 arrests and neighbors who witnessed arrests raised Halloween safety concerns, with Ellis warning against tear gas use where children gather on Friday.
