His actions drew reprimands from a federal judge, #SaraEllis of the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, who imposed restrictions on #Bovino & federal agents under his supervision.
In October, Bovino was seen lobbing a tear-gas canister into a crowd of people in the #LittleVillage neighborhood of #Chicago without warning protesters.

…US Rep Jesus “Chuy” Garcia on Tuesday said his office was aware of “a large group of masked federal agents” arriving in #Chicago. His office told the Sun-Times a “planeload” of agents had arrived to continue #immigration enforcement.
Garcia, who represents #LittleVillage, said the feds were deploying “tactics designed to maximize fear” by sending an influx of agents so close to the #holidays.

Other sightings on the Southwest Side & in Cicero were reported earlier Tuesday morning by rapid response teams that track & monitor #immigration *enforcement* activity. #BaltazarEnriquez, president of the #LittleVillage Community Council, said agents had arrested another man who was biking near 26th St & Kedvale Ave around 9:30AM.
It’s unclear how long Bovino & his team will remain in the area, following relatively short stints in Charlotte, NC, & New Orleans.
#Bovino & his team were seen detaining a man near 27th Street & Ridgeway Avenue in #LittleVillage around 10:20 AM. Nearby, neighbors & activists shouted, blew whistles & set up trash cans to try to block a #BorderPatrol caravan.
“All you’re doing in terrorizing us, scaring people. There’s little kids,” one person shouted at Bovino & other agents, blocks from where the arrest happened.

#ImmigrationCrackdown inspires uniquely #Chicago pushback that’s now a model for other cities
By SOPHIA TAREEN and CHRISTINE FERNANDO, November 16, 2025
CHICAGO (AP) — "Baltazar Enriquez starts most mornings with street patrols, leaving his home in Chicago’s #LittleVillage on foot or by car to find immigration agents that have repeatedly targeted his largely Mexican neighborhood.
"Wearing an orange whistle around his neck, the activist broadcasts his plans on Facebook.
" 'We don’t know if they’re going to come back. All we know is we’ve got to get ready,' he tells thousands of followers. 'Give us any tips if you see any suspicious cars.'
"Moments later, his phone buzzes.
"As an unprecedented immigration crackdown enters a third month, a growing number of Chicago residents are fighting back against what they deem a racist and aggressive overreach of the federal government. The Democratic stronghold’s response has tapped established activists and everyday residents from wealthy suburbs to working class neighborhoods.
"They say their efforts — #CommunityPatrols, #RapidResponders, #SchoolEscorts, vendor buyouts, #HonkingHorns and #BlowingWhistles — are a uniquely Chicago response that other cities President Donald #Trump has targeted for federal intervention want to model.
" 'The strategy here is to make us afraid. The response from Chicago is a bunch of obscenities and ‘no,’ said Anna Zolkowski Sobor, whose North Side neighborhood saw agents throw #TearGas and tackle an elderly man. 'We are all Chicagoans who deserve to be here. Leave us alone.' "

Their tactics include community patrols, rapid responders, school escorts, vendor buyouts, honking horns and blowing whistles.
