Lawyers for the Justice Department are asking a federal appeals court for an administrative stay pausing an order that requires Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino meet in person with Judge Sara Ellis each day.

Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino fires back at Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson after being called 'barbaric,' claiming anti-police rhetoric fuels violence against agents.

An appeals court intervened Wednesday and suddenly blocked an order that required a senior Border Patrol official to give unprecedented daily briefings to a judge about immigration sweeps in Chicago.

It did so after Justice Department lawyers called Judge Sara Ellis' standing appointment with the Border Patrol boss an “extraordinarily disruptive requirement.”

A U.S. judge on Tuesday intensified her monitoring of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in Chicago, requiring a top official to appear daily in court and ordering his agency to detail the use of force by its agents including firing tear gas at protesters and bystanders and to hand over body-camera video.
