Overview
- U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis directed Bovino to appear in person at 6 p.m. each weekday until a Nov. 5 preliminary‑injunction hearing.
- Bovino must begin wearing a body camera by Friday and complete required training, as the court-enforced camera mandate extends to agents.
- Ellis ordered a sealed chart by Friday listing all non‑immigration arrests tied to Operation Midway Blitz from Sept. 2 onward, including names, dates, charges and outcomes.
- The judge emphasized her Oct. 9 order limiting tear‑gas use, citing videos from Little Village and Old Irving Park and warning that children in Halloween costumes are not a threat.
- Operation Midway Blitz has produced at least 3,000 arrests since September, while a lawsuit by media, protesters and clergy alleges excessive force, and DHS publicly defended Bovino in a post‑hearing video.
