Border Patrol official Bovino due in court to answer questions about Chicago immigration crackdown
October 27, 2025
Border Patrol official Greg Bovino is due in court Tuesday to take questions about a federal immigration crackdown in the Chicago area, which has produced more than 1,800 arrests and complaints of excessive force. The hearing comes after a judge this month ordered uniformed immigration agents to wear body cameras, the latest step in a lawsuit by news outlets and protesters who say federal agents used excessive force, including using tear gas, during protests. A judge last week extended questioning of Bovino to hear about agents’ recent use of force in the city’s Mexican enclave of Little Village.
