Describing the Trump administrationās depiction of Chicago as āuntrueā and āsimply not credible,ā a federal judge has again ordered federal immigration authorities to limit their use of force during their crackdown in the area.
Ellis did not give an end date for her order, and no trial date has been set for the case. In the meantime, the parties will appear in court periodically for status updates.
Before announcing her latest order, Ellis described Chicago as a place ābrimming with vitality and hopeā as it works to move past a history that includes segregation and violence, with āeveryday people standing watch to protect the most vulnerable among us.ā
āThe government would have people believe, instead, that the Chicagoland area is in a vise-hold of violence, ransacked by rioters and attacked by agitators,ā Ellis said. āThat simply is untrue. And the governmentās own evidence in this case belies that assertion.
āAfter reviewing all of the evidence submitted and listening to the testimony, I find the defendantsā evidence simply not credible.ā
The government has said agents have used justified force to respond to āriotersā and violence.
āDescribing rapid-response networks [and] moms as professional agitators shows just how out of touch these agents are, and how incredible their views are,ā Ellis said.



I look forward to the day writers stop using sensationalized words like āblastā and āslam.ā
āRebukesā would be a non-eye-bleeding-inducing term.
āarrestedā would be a great change of pace from āblasted/slammedā
I look forward to the day that those words are accurate.
Yeah; entirely agreed. Part of why I quoted the parts that cover what the judge actually says. Itās a good ruling; useless headline.
