US EditionUS appeals court halts order limiting immigration agents' response to Chicago protests
The 7th Circuit granted the government’s emergency request to pause restrictions on immigration agents amid claims of rights violations by protesters and journalists in Chicago.
- On Wednesday, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals paused a judge's order that limited when federal immigration agents could deploy tear gas and other anti‑riot weapons, granting the government's emergency request.
- U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis issued the order on November 6 after siding with protesters, journalists and clergy who said they were specifically targeted and after finding the government's claims of uncontrolled violence not credible.
- The order required federal agents to wear body cameras and clear identification while operating and barred them from arresting or dispersing journalists in the Chicago area.
- On November 10, the U.S. government asked the appeals court to pause the order, arguing it impermissibly micromanaged federal law enforcement in Chicago amid expanded enforcement under President Donald Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz.
- Ellis' order follows a prior temporary restraining order she issued last month and a separate dispute blocked National Guard deployment to Chicago on October 16, now under U.S. Supreme Court review.
