Border Official Caught Lying, Shocked to Find Courts Care
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis, apparently unfamiliar with the standard operating procedure of certain government branches, reprimanded Greg Bovino, a top Border Patrol official. Bovino, it seems, misrepresented his team's actions during Chicago protests—actions the judge found to 'shock the conscience.' The court has now decreed that protesters have a right to not be assaulted, an innovative
concept for federal agents on Trump's 'Chicago blitz.' One might wonder why it takes a judge to remind armed federal agents that lying under oath while brutalizing citizens is generally frowned upon. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a recurring theme. Remember the 'unidentified' federal agents deploying against protestors in Portland in 2020? Same play, different city, same playbook:
aggressive, unaccountable federal force deployed selectively against dissent. The media frames these as isolated bad apples, rather than a systemic issue tied to executive directives that prioritize suppression over constitutional rights. It's almost as if the truth is inconvenient when discussing federal overreach and the casual slide into authoritarian tactics.
