Federal judge rebukes administration's use of force during 'Operation Midway Blitz'
A federal judge on Thursday issued an extraordinary rebuke of the Department of Homeland Security's immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, saying the administration made "widespread misrepresentations" as to what was occurring during the operation.
"While Defendants may argue that the Court identifies only minor inconsistencies, every minor inconsistency adds up, and at some point, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to believe almost anything that Defendants represent," Judge Sarah Ellis wrote about the administration in a scathing 233-page ruling.
The ruling stems from a case in which Ellis limited the Border Patrol's use of force against protesters and members of the media in Chicago during the so-called "Operation Midway Blitz."
Ellis said that Border Patrol commander-at-large Greg Bovino lied about the events that transpired in the Little Village area of Chicago in October. "Turning to Bovino, the Court specifically finds his testimony not credible. Bovino appeared evasive over the three days of his deposition, either providing 'cute' responses to Plaintiffs’ counsel’s questions or outright lying," the judge wrote Thursday.
