US EditionTop Border Patrol official accused of violating judge’s use-of-force order by throwing tear gas at Chicago protesters
Greg Bovino allegedly launched tear gas at protesters despite a federal ban, prompting extended deposition and ongoing legal scrutiny of Border Patrol tactics in Chicago.
- On Thursday, Customs and Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino returned to Chicago and, attorneys say, launched a gas canister at protesters in Little Village.
- Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Sara L. Ellis barred agents from using tear gas without two warnings and expanded Bovino's deposition to five hours in the lawsuit filed by plaintiffs.
- The filing included a screenshot that plaintiffs say shows Bovino in uniform pulling out and tossing a tear gas canister over the heads of other agents as footage depicts a crowd confronting armed, masked Border Patrol agents.
- Attorneys for the plaintiffs filed a notice Thursday saying they have significant concerns the TRO is ignored, and U.S. District Judge Sara L. Ellis set a hearing for Nov. 5.
- His profile includes a separate prosecution where prosecutors say a gang put a $10,000 bounty on Bovino, and Judge Ellis has cited October 12 and October 14 incidents when she worried her order wasn't being followed.
