CHICAGO (Reuters) -A U.S. judge on Tuesday intensified her monitoring of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in Chicago, requiring a top official to appear daily in court and ordering his agency to detail the use of force by its agents including firing tear gas at protesters and bystanders and to hand over body-camera video.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis during a hearing chastisedBorder Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino over his agency's actions in the third-largest U.S. city and told him to get a body camera to wear himself. Ellis had summoned him to appear at the hearing after he was seen on video last week tossing a tear gas canister at protesters during an enforcement action in a neighborhood with many immigrants from Mexico.
