Another unhinged activist jurist DEI appointment by Obama stepping completely outside her lane. She even looks like Kamala. Her ruling sounds like a DNC infomercial, nothing based in law.

Can anyone explain how such a brainless hack passed the bar?

Judge scolds DHS over handling of anti-ICE protests in Chicago, moves to oversee operations

A U.S. district judge chastised the Homeland Security Department on Tuesday over agents’ suppression of anti-ICE protests on the streets of Chicago and put herself in a position to oversee operations, demanding body-worn cameras for all personnel and ordering daily briefings from the commander on the scene.

Judge Sara Ellis said she didn’t want to take over the Chicago immigration enforcement operation but suspected authorities had violated her restraining order curtailing the use of aggressive riot control tactics.

The case has quickly become a test of Homeland Security’s authority to deal with the unruly crowds, which are increasingly emboldened to confront officers and agents carrying out President Trump’s deportation plans.

Judge Ellis ordered Gregory Bovino, Border Patrol commander-at-large, to personally deliver an update every weekday evening so she could understand the situation. She fretted specifically over reports that tear gas was used on a crowd over the weekend near where children were preparing for a Halloween celebration.

“Kids dressed in Halloween costumes walking to a parade do not pose an immediate threat to the safety of a law enforcement officer,” the judge said. “You can’t use riot control weapons against them.”

She said video from the streets indicated that agents had violated a restraining order she issued last week banning the use of tear gas or other riot control munitions without an immediate threat.

Homeland Security released a video on social media as the hearing began. The footage, based on protesters’ claims, challenged some of the judge’s conclusions.
