Chicago Raid Sparks Outcry, Judge Summons Commander

Chicago residents accused U.S. Border Patrol of interrupting a children’s Halloween parade in Old Irving Park, alleging agents used tear gas and aggressive tactics during an immigration raid. Verified video shows tear gas and several arrests, including U.S. citizens. DHS officials say agents faced a hostile crowd, issued warnings, and arrested two citizens and a “criminal illegal alien from Mexico.” Amid mounting clashes, Judge Sara Ellis—who has limited agents’ tactics and ordered body cameras—has summoned commander Greg Bovino to court over alleged unjustified tear-gas use, as city lawyers challenge the operation and plaintiffs claim federal violations.
