Overview
- Gregory Bovino posted a video showing Border Patrol agents arriving in Chicago and wrote that they will be there "for years."
- In footage and subsequent posts, Bovino confronted Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss and labeled him a "clown," while Biss told him he is not welcome.
- Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot condemned the operations as unconstitutional and warned Bovino his "day of reckoning is fast approaching."
- Current Mayor Brandon Johnson endorsed "Abolish ICE" as a snowplow name and rebuked Bovino online, saying Chicagoans want him out of the city.
- Bovino says agents are assisting ICE to target criminal offenders under ongoing operations, and DHS said last week it arrested a Latin Kings member accused of putting out a hit on him.
