Judge Officially Declares Trump’s Top Immigration Goon a Liar
By Tom Latchem
In a humiliating ruling, a court finds Gregory Bovino repeatedly lied about his actions during an anti-immigrant sweep in Chicago.
A federal judge accused Donald Trump’s top immigration goon of lying to her court as she imposed sweeping limits on a hardline anti-migrant crackdown in Illinois.
The order bars federal agents from using riot-control weapons on nonviolent people, requires warnings before using chemical munitions, and mandates body cameras and clear identification for officers.
In an oral ruling, Ellis said, “I find the government’s evidence to be simply not credible,” after weeks of tear-gassings, pepper-ball strikes and hard takedowns against journalists, clergy, and residents during ‘Operation Midway Blitz,’ with excessive violence which she said “shocks the conscience.”
The Obama-appointed judge singled out Bovino, 55, for false testimony—specifically his claim that he was hit in the head with a rock before he lobbed gas at protesters—saying he “later admitted that he lied” after DHS failed to provide any evidence to support its claim.
“The use of force shocks the conscience,” Ellis told the court.
