“Unfortunately, Liam is not the only child subjected to this treatment.

Let me be clear: this ruling does not erase the trauma inflicted on Liam or his family.”

Thank you for all your work lifting up this family, Rep. @crockett.house.gov.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis, who is still ruling, indicates a preliminary injunction is on the way.
After going through several incidents since the start of Operation Midway Blitz — like the ones above — Judge Ellis says, "those are the factual findings that I'm making to support this preliminary injunction."

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Art says Border Patrol boss Greg Bovino testified that he had "no regrets" about tossing tear gas in Little Village and, "if he had more tear gas, he would have thrown more at the people who were present."

Bovino is asked if he remembers the name of the Rev. David Black.

Bovino said he did not.

Now the courtroom is viewing footage of Black being hit with pepperballs.

Black says he now carries a GPS tracker when he's outside of his home, for fear that he'll picked up by ICE.
