US EditionCourt Transcripts Show Border Patrol Official Greg Bovino Dodging Questions About Use of Force
Deposition transcripts reveal evasive tactics by Border Patrol leaders on use of force during Chicago protests, influencing a judge's injunction limiting physical and chemical measures.
- On Tuesday, newly released transcripts show Greg Bovino, senior U.S. Border Patrol leader behind over 3,000 arrests, dodged questions in sworn deposition over three days in late October and early November.
- The depositions were conducted as part of discovery in a lawsuit alleging federal agents used excessive force against protesters, journalists and clergy, while U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis issued a preliminary injunction earlier this month restricting physical force and chemical agents.
- Shown video evidence, Bovino repeatedly denied tackling an older man at Broadview and claimed he was `mistaken` about a rock hitting him during the Oct. 23 Little Village protest.
- A federal appeals court temporarily halted the injunction, and DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin called it `a win for the rule of law and for the safety of every law enforcement officer`; Bovino left Chicago this month to lead operations in North Carolina and New Orleans.
- Deposition transcripts also reveal procedural clashes between attorneys and Daniel Parra said he could not `think of at the moment` any evidence that U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis's restrictions hurt Border Patrol enforcement.
