CBP Commander Accused of Violating Court Order

Customs and Border Protection Commander Gregory Bovino is accused of violating a restraining order after video showed him tossing tear gas at protesters during an immigration operation in Chicago's Little Village. Journalists and First Amendment advocates notified Judge Sara Ellis, arguing the act, and alleged uses of force and dispersal orders, breached her Oct. 9 limits on riot-control weapons and treatment of media. Ellis extended deposition time for Bovino and other officials and ordered both sides to include recent Little Village use-of-force incidents ahead of a Nov. 5 hearing. Separately, Gov. JB Pritzker created an Illinois Accountability Commission.
