Judge Orders Daily Oversight of Chicago Raids

After a terse hearing Tuesday, US district judge Sara Ellis ordered senior Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino to appear in federal court each weekday to report on incidents from Chicago’s immigration raids, tightening oversight of operations dubbed “Operation Midway Blitz.” Citing agents’ repeated violations of court limits on force—including chemical irritants used near a children’s Halloween parade—Ellis also directed Bovino to wear a body camera and complete training by Friday. Plaintiffs accuse agents of “extreme brutality”; officials have cited threats without proof. DHS did not immediately comment. At least 3,000 arrests have occurred since September.
