Border Patrol Chief Accused of Violating Court Order During Chicago Protests

The situation in Little Village, Chicago, has escalated following accusations against Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino, who is alleged to have violated a court order by using tear gas on protesters. Tensions are rising as Bovino and his agents reportedly clashed with local residents, leading to one arrest for battery against a police officer. A judge has allowed further questioning of Bovino amidst claims that he threw tear gas canisters at the crowd, allegedly defying restrictions outlined in a court order. Illinois Governor Pritzker has called for accountability from federal agents, while Bovino has defended their actions, stating that they were necessary for crowd control. These events have sparked outrage among community members and raised concerns about the use of force in the ongoing operations.
