A federal judge today extended limits on the use of force by federal agents carrying out a Chicago-area deportation blitz.
The decision came after the judge heard clips of sworn testimony by the U.S. Border Patrol chief in charge of that operation.
He was asked about a pep talk for his agents by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
Both say they’re going tough on violent mobs to protect the American people.
But the judge today found their use of force in Chicago, quote, “shocks the conscience” and chills First Amendment rights.
