The U.S. Border Patrol is coming under criticism from Chicago residents who claim federal agents disrupted a children's Halloween parade over the weekend, allegedly with aggressive tactics and tear gas during an immigration enforcement incident.

The latest clash between federal agents and residents came as Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino, who is leading the "Operation Midway Blitz" immigration enforcement in Chicago, is scheduled to appear before a federal judge on Tuesday.

Judge Sara Ellis of the U.S. District Court for the Northern Illinois has ordered Bovino to appear before her following allegations that he had personally deployed tear gas on a crowd of demonstrators "without justification" last week, according to court filings in a lawsuit against the federal government.

Ellis indicated in a hearing earlier this month that she was “profoundly concerned” over the tactics used by federal agents in a series of clashes with protesters. She issued a temporary restraining order on Oct. 9, restricting federal agents from using aggressive tactics to quell protests, including the deployment of tear gas without advanced warning.

1. Kick.

2. That is the whole point. They want to disrupt, they want to antagonize.

They are tasked with generating reactions. That provides the groundwork for full-on incursions. They need that, are not getting that, and are really pissed.

Once this madness is over, every ICE agent (there will be recorded ways to identify them) needs to be declared an enemy of the state (They have earned that distinction), rounded up, have their citizenship stripped, and shipped off and deposited in the middle of Libya, Syria or who-the-fuck-cares-where along with a lifetime ban on (re)entering the USA or its territories.

These are truly reprehensible people.

3. Correct, the protesters have shown tremendous restraint in civil disobedience

the masked armed agents of the state are the ones repeatedly being violent. Everyone has cameras on their phones to record all of it as evidence.

4. I'm guessing that Greg Bovino didn't get invited to Halloween parties as a child

And now, he wants to be a meanie to all the children to do
He wants to disrupt their parades and parties in retaliation
C'mere Greg. Lemme give you a hug.

Not.

5. Put him in jail.

6. To help ID these thugs

Get them to touch something smooth, like your car. Now you have a fingerprint to find out who they are, especially if they have violated your rights.

7. Bovino is a psychotic freak.

these people are so bad I am just constantly shocked at the level of their depravity.

8. Were they brown kids?

If so that makes it okay in MAGA's eyes.

9. "Under fire" metaphorically.

If it was literally under GUNfire, MFer would deploy the Army to Chicago. Which is what I wondered when I read the headline.

Posse Comitatus was just a suggestion.
