Judge questions compliance with Chicago protest order | JQJO

Alarmed by news images and reports, U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis said she has serious concerns that federal agents are defying her temporary restraining order protecting journalists and peaceful protesters in Chicago. In a hearing called on short notice Thursday, Ellis, 'not happy,' ordered any agents with body cameras to keep them on during encounters with immigration protesters, softening an initial plan to require cameras for all after Justice Department objections over logistics and resources. Citing images of tear gas and two possible violations, she summoned the Operation Midway Blitz field director for Monday testimony.
