Appeals court blocks order requiring Bovino to brief judge on Chicago immigration sweeps

An appeals court abruptly paused a judge’s order forcing senior Border Patrol official Greg Bovino to give daily briefings on immigration sweeps in Chicago, issued after weeks of tense encounters under Operation Midway Blitz, which has led to more than 1,800 arrests and tear-gas complaints in Little Village. The Justice Department called the mandate “extraordinarily disruptive,” and Homeland Security hailed the pause, though attorneys still met with U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis to set a 9 p.m. deadline for body-camera footage. Bovino must still sit for a Thursday deposition as litigation over agents’ tactics continues.
