THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

The EHRC admits there's no way to enforce anti-trans exclusion using paperwork.

A recipe for utter chaos.
