The Border Control commander who’s become the face of the Trump administration’s ongoing immigration-enforcement campaign in Chicago will be in a federal courtroom Tuesday for a hearing about tear gas and other controversial tactics used by his agents in city neighborhoods that allegedly violate a restraining order.
Cmdr. Gregory Bovino, a 30-year veteran border agent, is set to appear before U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis at 10 a.m. at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse, where an overflow courtroom and special security measures are being taken to handle what is expected to be a large crowd of media and spectators.
Ellis ordered Bovino into court last week after he was seen personally throwing tear gas canisters at a crowd of protesters in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood. Bovino, meanwh
