(NewsNation) — A judge in Illinois ordered federal officers to wear body cameras during immigration operations, citing growing concerns over clashes with protesters.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis issued the order Thursday, saying she was startled by reports that agents used tear gas during confrontations with the public. The ruling followed a viral video showing federal agents deploying tear gas on crowds Tuesday. Ellis said she was “profoundly concerned” the agents had violated her order from last week, which required them to wear visible badges and banned certain crowd-control tactics.

Ellis said she now wants all Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents involved in “Operation Midway Blitz” to wear body cameras and keep them activated during operations.
