Ellis turns to the testimony of U.S. Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino. How he denied using force against a man he tackled and said he didn't see the Rev. David Black hit by pepperballs.

Ellis: "The government would have people believe, instead, that the Chicagoland area is in a vice hold of violence, ransacked by rioters and attacked by agitators. That simply is untrue. And the government's own evidence in this case belies that assertion."

FWIW as someone who's reported on the Broadview facility- I don't believe there's space or ability to provide these services there.

Gettleman: "I'm going to rule on the record that I have. And it's a disturbing record. I think everybody can admit that we don't want to treat people the way that I heard people are being treated today."

It comes less than three weeks after federal agents tear gassed the neighborhood and took a person (while another was freed by community members) just blocks away.
Feds deploy tear gas in Albany Park as neighbors respond to them detaining people. One person was taken, though another was freed.
“I was afraid to go over there. I got braver the more people came out. I know my neighbors have my back, and I have their back."

Feds deploy tear gas in another Chicago neighborhood: 'We chased federal agents out of Albany Park today'
