Appeals court blocks order requiring Bovino to brief judge on Chicago immigration sweeps
The 7th Circuit Court paused Judge Ellis's order requiring daily briefings from Border Patrol Chief Bovino amid protests over use of force in Chicago's immigration enforcement.
- 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.
