Judge Restricts Immigration Agents' Use of Force After Border Patrol Lies
TL;DR
A U.S. District Judge in Chicago restricted the use of force by immigration agents after Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino admitted to lying about a rock-throwing incident used to justify tear gas deployment during protests, and video evidence contradicted DHS claims that Bovino was hit before using tear gas. The judge criticized the agents' use of force and highlighted violations of protesters' rights, while DHS plans to appeal the decision.
