Gregory Bovino, the chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, has been ordered to appear in a Chicago federal court following allegations that he violated a court order during an immigration crackdown in the Little Village neighborhood. Reports indicate that Bovino threw tear gas at protesters, leading to accusations of misconduct and defiance of legal restrictions on the use of force. As tensions rise, the Department of Homeland Security has defended the actions of Border Patrol agents, citing the need to respond to aggressive actions from some protesters. The controversy has sparked widespread scrutiny of federal tactics in dealing with protests, with peaceful demonstrations occurring simultaneously in the city.
