The Department of Homeland Security’s Twitter feed is absolute propaganda. After ICE leader Greg Bovino was ordered by a federal judge to not harass children on Halloween the DHS Twitter feed claimed they “wouldn’t back down to anarchy in Chicago”…

From the Editorial Board:

This is not welcomed. There has to be a moratorium on these kinds of un-American tactics and there has to be one now. This is outrage over kids seeing things that are impossible to forget. And over American kids suddenly having a parent swept away.

Ellis tells Bovino the people of Chicago have a right to tell him and his agents that they don't like what they are doing and want them to leave.

"They can't get tear gassed" for doing that.

Bovino: "I understand what you are saying, your honor. We will abide by the temporary restraining order."

Ellis says she called Bovino into court today to prevent something like that happening again, and to ensure agents abide by the 1st and 4th amendment.

And that kids throughout Chicago can feel safe and confident that law enforcement officers are there to protect them.
