Overview
- A DHS promotional video showing Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino in a long black trench coat drew Nazi-era comparisons, with California Gov. Gavin Newsom calling it overt fascism.
- U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis ordered Bovino to appear daily at 6 p.m. and to submit detailed force reports after agents used chemical rounds near a family parade that left a 67-year-old injured.
- An appeals court paused the judge’s daily reporting mandate, citing irreparable harm to enforcement operations.
- Ellis demanded body-camera footage and barred federal officers from using tear gas against peaceful protesters, while civil lawsuits accuse agents of unlawful chemical munitions and cite video of Bovino throwing a tear gas canister.
- Illinois Gov. J. B. Pritzker condemned tactics that frightened children, as Bovino continues to front high-profile raids and publicly defends the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis.
