So according to Bovino there have been no uses of force by Ice in Chicago because “the use of force was against me” absolves the precedent
Bovino asks, "will you agree that physical force was applied to these two individuals in the course of arresting them?"
Bovino: "I will not agree to that … That's not a reportable use of force. The use of force was against me."

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.
While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:

I know this has been pointed out and mentioning it isn't going to stop the abuses because "oh no, the hypocrisy!" but the military is banned from using tear gas in war, but cops can at home. And now a heavily armed paramilitary is regularly using it at home.
The incident is marks the third straight day that federal agents have deployed tear gas against Chicagoans and the seventh time in 22 days.

She concedes it can be "scary" to be followed home or harassed, but adds,
