Nov. 20 A federal appeals court has paused a preliminary injunction barring federal immigration officers from using force in Chicago, calling the district court order «overbroad.»
The two-page order from a three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals comes in a case filed in early October against the Trump administration, accusing federal agents of using excessive force against media and demonstrators protesting the federal government’s immigration operations in the Chicago area.
Earlier this month, District Judge Sara Ellis issued a preliminary injunction barring federal agents from using crowd-control measures ranging from batons to tear gas and flash-bang grenades.
