A federal judge in Illinois has ordered officers in the Trump administration’s sweeping Chicago operations to wear body-worn cameras, days after they were told to stop firing rubber bullets, tear gas and other chemical munitions at protesters and journalists protesting the president’s mass deportation agenda.
District Judge Sara Ellis said Thursday she was “startled” by images of law enforcement actions after she issued her initial order last week. “I’m getting images and seeing images on the news, in the paper, reading reports, where at least from what I’m seeing, I’m having serious concerns that my order’s being followed,” she said.
