Wonder what would happen if the Federal Judge holds U.S. Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino, in contempt if he doesn’t show up?
Would the US Marshal’s obey the Judge ?
Or?
Not?…. on Bondi following Trump & Co. ‘orders’ ?
Bovino got chewed on by judge….
Not by anyone in the White House….
And Bondi DIRECTLY telling the Border Chief to defy a Federal Judge WILL create HUGE Legal Problem’s for several people….
U.S. Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino, the face of “Operation Midway Blitz” cracking down on illegal immigration, must report daily to a federal judge after reports of combative enforcement, including using tear gas.
Bovino appeared Tuesday for a tense hearing before U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse in downtown Chicago. She questioned him about reports of aggressive immigration enforcement and the federal agents’ treatment of protesters, journalists and even children during the ongoing “immigration blitz.”
The hearing was part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by local media organizations alleging that federal agents have violated prior court orders restricting their use of force. Those orders forbid agents from using tear gas or “riot control” weapons without giving two warnings and from deploying them against people who pose no immediate threat.
“They don’t have to like what you’re doing. And that’s OK. That’s what democracy is,” Ellis said during the hearing, referring to protesters or others who might be voicing opposition to federal agents on the ground. “They can say they don’t like what you’re doing, that they don’t like how you’re enforcing the laws, that they wish you would leave Chicago and take the agents with you. They can say that, and that’s fine. But they can’t get teargassed for it.”…

Ellis raised concerns from the public that federal agents haven’t identified themselves. “I instructed all agents under my command to place an identifier conspicuously somewhere on their uniform,” Bovino replied. Ellis suggested IDs appear “in a conspicuous location” in at least two places, and Bovino agreed.
Ellis demanded that Bovino deliver use-of-force reports and body-worn camera footage compiled since Sept. 2.
And she ordered him to wear a camera himself. “The camera is your friend,” the judge said.
Bovino had acknowledged that he hadn’t been wearing one. “How about by Friday you get one for yourself?” Ellis asked. Bovino agreed, saying, “We can get that.”….
Note….
This WAS coming….
Chicago IS a tough place for Miller’s efforts…..
Bovino probably will be sacrificed by Miller who has noi use for judges or the law…..
Supreme Court asks for more briefs on Trump push to send troops to Chicago
The request means the justices won’t rule on the issue until at least mid-November, which would leave Trump’s attempted troop deployment blocked for more than a month.
