The #Trump admin also treated anti- #ICE #protesters worse because of the content of their #speech & impermissibly prevented the free exercise of #religion by #shooting, without warning, those engaged in prayer with #PepperBalls & #TearGas, both violations of the #FirstAmendment, Ellis said.
🚨She also said #BorderPatrol chief Greg #Bovino admitted to #lying about whether a rock hit him before he used tear gas on Chicagoans in Little Village last month.

“The government would have people believe, instead, that the Chicagoland area is in a vice hold of violence, ransacked by rioters & attacked by agitators,” Ellis said Thursday before announcing her ruling. “That simply is untrue. And the government’s own evidence in this case belies that assertion.”

Ellis held an all-day hearing Wednesday in her courtroom at the Dirksen Federal Building in downtown #Chicago where she heard from members of the #clergy, #protesters & Chicago #residents that they had been terrified by the aggressive actions of federal agents carrying out what the #Trump admin calls “Operation Midway Blitz.”

Lawyers for the #Trump admin told Ellis they plan to appeal her ruling…
Nearly a month ago, Ellis prohibited federal agents from deploying #TearGas & other #weapons against #journalists, #protesters & anyone not posing an immediate threat to #immigration enforcement agents.
Since Oct 3, federal agents have fired tear gas at Chicagoans on at least 7 occasions, along with #PepperBalls & other crowd *control* measures.
