Plaintiffs (basically Chicago's civil society, including journalists targeted) response: "How convenient. ... Give us Bovino."

By ALL means, let's get Greg Bovino under oath about ... everything.

4. Now, the government actually asks that Deputy Incident Commander Harvick be permitted to testify while informing that Mr. Hott is no longer going to be assigned to the “Chicago area of responsibility” is actually today—one business day before this Court has directed he testify about these incidents, and one day after Plaintiffs sought his deposition for the preliminary injunction hearing. Dkt. 55 at 2 n.2. How convenient. 5. Plaintiffs object because the government should not be allowed to play a game of hot potato with its different agencies using force against civilians in this District. Operation Midway Blitz presumably has a chain of command. Bovino, Hott, and Parra appear to be within that chain of command, and the government has submitted evidence in this and other pending cases that these individuals have knowledge of and authority over the operation. See, e.g., Dkt. 54 at 4-5 (collecting sources about Bovino’s involvement); Dkt. 35-1 (Hott Declaration); Dkt. 35-9 (Parra declaration). 6. This Court should reject the government’s effort to substitute someone lower down the chain of command withing CBP. This Court should order Hott to appear as an ICE supervisor, particularly given that the government has not represented in its filing that ICE was uninvolved. To the extent that the government is representing that a CBP supervisor is necessary, then this Court should direct Parra to appear as a CBP supervisor, in addition to Hott. To the extent that Court needs a single witness, Bonvio appears to be the functional commander of Operation Midway Blitz. See Dkt. 54 at 4-5.

Looking back at old forum posts I see that since at least 2018 the GOP has successfully convinced at least 1/3rd and maybe over 2/3rds of US voters that antifa is a single organized group supported by the Democrats who show up to protests to engage in brutal violence. It's not true but it has stuck.

“Antifa” instead of “Pro Democracy”

“Defund the Police” instead of “Reform Policing”

“Pro-Abortion” instead of “Right to Choose”

I could keep going but I hope the point is clear - allowing the opposition to define you or, worse yet, adopting stupid labels is, well, stupid.

Protest organizers are also recommending that you don't lean into antifa.
