According to sworn declarations included in the filing, video footage shows agents using chemical munitions, shoving civilians, and pointing firearms at protesters who posed no threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plaintiffs also allege that an officer shot a demonstrator in the neck with a pepper ball at close range and that another officer pointed a gun at a bystander while shouting, \u201cYou\u2019re dead liberal.\u201d The notice further cites comments made by Bovino in media interviews, in which he appeared to dismiss the court\u2019s authority and claim he was following \u201corders from the executive branch.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Department of Homeland Security <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DHSgov\/status\/1983186057798545573\">disputed<\/a> the claims in a post on Tuesday, saying video evidence shows agents were surrounded by 75 to 100 \u201crioters\u201d who fired commercial-grade fireworks, threw rocks, and attacked a Border Patrol vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DHS said agents issued multiple warnings before deploying tear gas and other crowd-control measures, which it described as \u201cnecessary to ensure the safety of both law enforcement and the public.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident in Little Village occurred amid \u201cOperation Midway Blitz,\u201d a DHS immigration enforcement campaign launched in September that deployed about 300 federal agents to Chicago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A coalition of journalists and civil rights groups has accused Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her department of violating a federal court order that limits the use of force by federal agents during demonstrations in Chicago last week, according to a new court filing.
