Overview
- Border Patrol convoys led by Cmdr. Gregory Bovino moved through Little Village on Nov. 8 as residents trailed the vehicles and confronted agents for hours.
- Homeland Security says a man in a black Jeep fired at agents near 26th Street and Kedzie Avenue, with no injuries reported.
- Agents deployed tear gas on crowds in Little Village and used pepper spray in Cicero, and video shows Bovino holding a tear gas canister though it is unclear if he deployed it.
- Chicago police assisted with crowd control and blocked streets, preventing residents from continuing to follow the convoy.
- Legal monitors reported at least nine protesters taken into federal custody, and recent court proceedings spotlighted use-of-force concerns after Bovino admitted he lied about being hit by a rock in a prior incident.
