JUDGE ORDERS ICE AND CBP BODY CAMS AFTER TEAR-GAS CLASHES AT CHICAGO PROCESSING CENTER

A federal judge in Chicago ordered ICE and CBP agents tied to Operation Midway Blitz to wear and activate body cameras during immigration operations after viral videos showed tear gas used against protesters near the Broadview processing facility. Nearly a dozen people were detained amid renewed clashes as Illinois State Police pushed back crowds. Judge Sara Ellis cited possible violations of an earlier order limiting crowd-control tactics and summoned the ICE field director to court to explain compliance. DOJ attorneys said limited camera availability and the government shutdown complicate rollout; state officials praised the ruling as protests continue.
