Judge Holds Border Official Accountable in Chicago Crackdown

A federal judge has ordered a leading Border Patrol official to attend daily court sessions and to wear a body camera. The directive comes amid criticism over the agency's use of force and tear gas during immigration enforcement in Chicago.

Judge Sara Ellis pointed out video evidence suggesting that the Border Patrol's actions could be legally questionable, with some videos showing unnecessary force against individuals. In response, the official, Gregory Bovino, must report to court each day and adhere to the judge's directives.

This legal challenge is part of broader protests against President Trump's aggressive immigration strategy in Chicago, where federal agents have faced allegations of using excessive force. As Chicago becomes a centerpiece of Trump's immigration policy, the legal scrutiny and public outcry continue to grow.
