The incident involving Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino, has been a key part of the court proceedings challenging immigration tactics in Chicago.

Over the objections of President Donald Trump’s administration, a federal judge Wednesday ordered the release of video taken during an hours-long deposition given last week by U.S. Border Patrol Cmdr.

U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis is the second federal judge in the Northern District of Illinois to find that federal agents have presented unreliable testimony about their actions and the actions of Chicagoans in response to President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort.

Bovino has become the public face of the Trump administration’s aggressive deportation campaign in Chicago, known as “Operation Midway Blitz.” The judge called him into court one day after attorneys accused him of tossing tear gas into a crowd in the Little Village neighborhood

The deposition of Border Patrol Cmdr. Greg Bovino nearly ground to a halt last week as government lawyers repeatedly objected to questions by plaintiffs’ attorneys, court records show.

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino was set to face tough questions in court Thursday, in part of an ongoing fight over how federal agents are handling immigration enforcement in Chicago.

Before Thursday's ruling limiting the feds’ use of force, the Homeland Security secretary encouraged the Border Patrol chief to go hard at protesters opposing Chicago’s deportation blitz.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Federal agents were seen roaming parts of Chicago's southwest side on Thursday, drawing crowds of protesters. Agents were seen near 31st Street and Western Avenue in black SUVs. The heavily armed Border Patrol agents stopped and got out of their vehicles holding their weapons closely at numerous spots in various neighborhoods.

A federal judge in Chicago on Thursday said she will issue a sweeping injunction that puts more permanent restrictions on the use of force by immigration agents during “Operation Midway Blitz,” saying top government officials lied in their testimony about threats that protesters posed and that their unlawful behavior on the streets “shows no signs of stopping.
