Border Patrol’s militarized tactics don’t belong in our cities. After years of impunity at the border, they’re now using the same extreme methods in places like Chicago. Accountability is long overdue.
An appeals court has paused a judge’s order requiring CBP official Greg Bovino to give daily immigration updates in Chicago. @andreaflores.bsky.social, vice president of immigration policy and campaigns at @fwd.us, joins The Weeknight to call for scrutiny of CBP’s “extreme” intimidation tactics.
