Summary

Federal judges and the federal courts are clearly getting fed up with the Trump Administration's continued abusive conduct in relation to its immigration enforcement practices.

A federal judge in Chicago, Judge Sara Ellis, just ordered the Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino to appear in her courtroom DAILY for the next week, after he was caught on video casually lobbing a tear gas canister into a crowd of protestors that posed no imminent threat to officers.

But even more important than today's ruling, was the fact that Judge Ellis citied as evidence videos that had been sent to her by members of the public documenting abusive acts by federal officers. This is an important reminder of the power the people have to record, document, and turn over to the authorities, including the courts, these powerful images.
