Border Patrol commander-at-large Greg Bovino came under questioning about the crowd-control tactics he and his agents are using in their Chicago immigration crackdown.

The one-page suspension by the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals came before Greg Bovino's first scheduled, late afternoon meeting with U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis at the courthouse in downtown Chicago.

CHICAGO — Less than two hours before U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino was set to appear before a federal judge Wednesday evening for the first of five court-ordered daily check-ins, the 7 th Circuit Court of Appeals said he didn’t have to.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis made the comment Wednesday evening, after the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to put a temporary hold on her standing appointment with U.S. Border Patrol boss Gregory Bovino.

The DOJ is appealing a federal judge's order that mandated CBP Commander-at-Large Greg Bovino to check-in with the judge daily to ensure compliance with an order that restricted federal agents' use of force.

CHICAGO (Reuters) -A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Border Patrol official who leads U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in Chicago to appear in court daily for the next week and to wear a body camera after chastising him over his agency's frequent use of force and tear gas during enforcement actions in the city.

It did so after Justice Department lawyers called Judge Sara Ellis' standing appointment with the Border Patrol boss an “extraordinarily disruptive requirement.”

Lawyers for the Justice Department are asking a federal appeals court for an administrative stay pausing an order that requires Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino meet in person with Judge Sara Ellis each day.
