Overview
- Federal officials reported six U.S. citizens were charged and three undocumented immigrants were taken into custody after confrontations in Cicero and Glendale Heights, including alleged vehicle rammings and an agent’s knee injury.
- Video shows Bovino tossing a tear-gas canister during a Little Village standoff; DHS says agents were boxed in, hit with rocks and fireworks, and issued warnings, while plaintiffs argue the actions breached a temporary restraining order.
- U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis extended Bovino’s deposition to five hours, ordered preservation of body-camera footage, and expanded a Nov. 5 injunction hearing to cover this week’s use-of-force incidents.
- Detentions tied to Little Village operations included a Juarez Community Academy student who was later released and two staffers for Alderman Michael Rodriguez who were freed after several hours.
- Weekly demonstrations continued at the Broadview ICE facility, and more than a dozen members of Congress convened a Chicago “shadow” hearing to gather testimony on alleged abuses under Operation Midway Blitz.
