A federal judge in Chicago has accused immigration officials of fabricating details about local protests against the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis ruled that federal agents must limit the use of tear gas and other anti-riot weapons after evidence contradicted the government's claims of violence.

Judge Ellis's decision follows testimony of excessive force, including tear gas usage in residential areas under 'Operation Midway Blitz,' and mandates body cameras and identification for agents handling protests.
