Appeals Court Halts Sweeping Order that Restricts Immigration Agents’ Use of Force Around Chicago
WTTW News (Chicago) ^ | November 19, 2025 | Matt Masterson

A federal appeals court has paused a sweeping order that restricts federal immigration agents’ use of force across Chicago and the suburbs following a series of aggressive raids led by Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday agreed to stay an order issued by U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis that sought to rein in agents’ use of tear gas, pepper balls and other crowd control measures against protesters, journalists and others.

The court called Ellis “overbroad” and said it would enjoin “an expansive range of defendants” including President Donald Trump, the departments of Justice and Homeland Security and anyone “acting in concert with them.”

“The practical effect,” the court wrote, “is to enjoin all law enforcement officers within the Executive Branch.”

Ellis was born in 1969, in London, Ontario, Canada, to Jamaican-born parents. She became a naturalized citizen of the United States when she was 15 years old.
IOW another “exotic”, like Barack and Kamala.

The court called Ellis “overbroad” Did they mean overbroad or over board?

When courts can just invent any power they want over anyone they want then we have no law, only judges.

Not the WWE, but a smackdown nonetheless.
