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.

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

A federal judge slammed Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino Tuesday for agents terrorizing children at a Halloween parade over the weekend, according to Jon Seidal of the Chicago Sun Times.

A U.S. judge on Tuesday intensified her monitoring of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in Chicago, requiring a top official to appear daily in court and ordering his agency to detail the use of force by its agents including firing tear gas at protesters and bystanders and to hand over body-camera video.

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 Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino.

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.
