"No, only Congress can suspend habeas corpus."

"Habeas corpus can only be suspended under the Constitution in times of invasion or insurrection. None of that is happening now."

"This is a really important question, and the answer is a categorical no."

"We are going to suspend the writ of habeas corpus if the courts keep ruling against this [Trump's mass deportations]."

"I can assure you that the president and the entire administration are certainly open to all legal and constitutional remedies [including pausing the writ of habeas corpus] to ensure we can continue with the promise of deporting illegal criminals from our nation's borders."

"I would say that's [suspending the writ of habeas corpus] an option we're actively looking at."

In a one-page suspension issued Wednesday, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked a federal judge's order from Tuesday requiring Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino to appear in federal court every weekday at 6 p.m. until Nov. 5 to provide daily briefings on immigration enforcement activities in Chicago.

In a one-page suspension issued Wednesday, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked a federal judge's order from Tuesday requiring Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino to appear in federal court every weekday at 6 p.m. until Nov. 5 to provide daily briefings on immigration enforcement activities in Chicago.

Previously, Bovino acknowledged during Tuesday's hearing that he does not wear a body camera nor has he received training to use one, despite stating that 99% of Border Patrol agents under his command have the technology. He told the judge he would wear one going forward.

Ellis also expressed concern about tear gas deployment near children during Halloween activities, specifically referencing an incident in Old Irving Park where agents allegedly used chemical agents while children prepared for a parade. Bovino said he couldn't speak to specific incidents without documentation, but clarified that the decision to use force is "dependent on the situation."

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released video footage defending agents' actions, saying that it showed protesters throwing objects and fireworks at federal officers during confrontations in Chicago neighborhoods.

This hearing stemmed from a lawsuit filed by media organizations, protesters and clergy members alleging federal agents violated court orders restricting the use of force against journalists and peaceful demonstrators. The Justice Department appealed Ellis' ruling.

Federal agents are terrorizing Chicago neighborhoods with excessive force without justification and Bovino has flagrantly continued violating court orders. The courts must clamp down on this lawless federal crackdown, which has transformed immigration enforcement into partisan population control, traumatizing families and shattering children's sense of safety in quiet residential areas.

Democratic narrative

Unelected judges are overstepping constitutional boundaries by micromanaging law enforcement tactics and restricting officers' ability to defend themselves during dangerous confrontations. These judicial power grabs must stop because they're undermining federal authority while agents risk their lives removing dangerous criminals from American communities during necessary enforcement operations.
