- Sources say the enforcement surge is continuing, with some Border Patrol agents remaining in the Chicago region.
- In a Fox News appearance, Bovino said he was training in West Virginia and signaled possible redeployment to cities including Chicago and Charlotte.
- U.S. District Judge Sara L. Ellis issued a preliminary injunction restricting crowd-control tactics, requiring clear warnings and identifiers, and noted Bovino admitted he falsely claimed he was struck by a rock before tear-gassing residents.
- DHS said it does not discuss future operations, Mecklenburg County officials reported being told CBP personnel are arriving in the Charlotte area, and the administration filed an emergency appeal this week to try to block Ellis’s order.
