The Trump administration told the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that Judge Sara Ellis' order is 'overbroad and unworkable,' and it asked the appeals court for a stay.

A federal appeals court has ruled that Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino does not have to attend daily meetings with a judge to discuss federal immigration agents' use of force in Chicago,

This overbroad and unworkable injunction has no basis in law, threatens the safety of federal officers, and violates the separation of powers,” DOJ attorneys wrote in their appeal.

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.

CHICAGO — Less than two hours before U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino was set to appear before a federal judge Wednesday evening for the first of five court-ordered daily check-ins, the 7 th Circuit Court of Appeals said he didn’t have to.

The DOJ filed the motion with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday afternoon, hours before Bovino was set to appear at the Dirksen Federal Building to meet with U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis.

Greg Bovino, who is leading Border Patrol efforts in Chicago, was ordered Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis to brief her every evening.
