A Border Patrol official, Commander Greg Bovino, admitted to lying about a rock-throwing incident that justified using tear gas against protesters in Chicago. U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis issued a preliminary injunction limiting force during immigration arrests due to video evidence contradicting Bovino’s claims. The Department of Homeland Security defended the use of force, stating it was necessary for safety, but the judge criticized their actions as excessive and dismissive of First Amendment rights. DHS plans to appeal the injunction, arguing it undermines law enforcement efforts.
