Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino gave nearly seven hours of clipped, defensive, and evasive answers about his unit’s chaotic Chicago mission, according to newly released court documents.

U.S. District Judge Sara L. Ellis, 56, last week torched Bovino’s credibility in a 233-page opinion on the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, writing that he “appeared evasive… either providing ‘cute’ responses… or outright lying.” Her order—now stayed by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals—details a video that, she said, flatly contradicts agency narratives about violent mobs justifying force.

    The helicopter raid they did in Chicago should have had every real American in the streets rioting. It was a massive violation of the rights and it should have scared everyone.

    Going door to door, yanking out all residents, regardless of citizenship was the most heinous example Gestapo bullshit I’ve seen.
