A federal judge's ruling supporting limits on federal immigration agents' use of force in Chicago outlines in detail what the judge called repeated lies by Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino.

When it came to Bovino, in her ruling, Ellis said she found his testimony during a lengthy deposition wasn’t credible.

“Bovino appeared evasive over the three days of his deposition, either providing ‘cute’ responses to Plaintiffs’ counsel’s questions or outright lying,” she wrote.

Specifially, Ellis noted that Bovino admitted during his deposition that he lied about an incident in Little Village, during which he threw a tear gas canister into the crowd.

Bovino initially said he threw the tear gas because he’d been hit in the head by a rock, but later admitted the rock did not hit his helmet until after he deployed the tear gas.

On Oct. 3, Kyle Frankovich and Juan Munoz – an Oak Park Township trustee – said they were grabbed and tackled by federal agents in Broadview as Bovino and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem were visiting the ICE facility.

Ellis’ ruling states Bovino led a group of 50 to 75 agents who “walked directly to the protesters gathered in the designated protest zone.”

“Bovino then grabbed Muñoz by the shoulder, pulled him to the ground, smacked his phone out of his hand, and placed him under arrest, using plastic zip ties around his wrists,” Ellis wrote.
