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.

“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.”

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.

#Chicago locals take on #ICE block-by-block

The #immigration agents' #TearGas #grenades clinked & then exploded against the concrete, shrouding the block in plumes of white gas. The dozen or so residents at the scene only screamed louder.
“We don't want you here,”yelled Rae Lindenberg. The 32-yr-old, who works in marketing, ran out of her apartment when she heard the shrill sound of whistles. "Get out of our neighborhood!"

The squad of agents had appeared in Lakeview last month, an upscale neighborhood dotted with dog daycares, medical spas & vegan restaurants, hopping over a gate to chase down a construction worker who was handcuffed & shoved into a vehicle.

When Courtney Conway, a 42-yr-old lifelong #Chicago resident, heard about the chase through FB groups & text message chains, she hopped on her bike to join the #protesters.

Border Patrol’s #Bovino agrees to return to court daily, as he & federal judge talk #BodyCams, #TearGas, IDs

The top #US #BorderPatrol commander spent an hour on the stand Tuesday, responding to US District Judge Sara Ellis’ concerns about how federal agents have handled themselves, people they’ve detained, #protesters & #journalists.
