U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino is under intensifying scrutiny in Chicago after he was recorded on Thursday throwing what appeared to be a tear gas canister at protesters, leading attorneys to accuse him of violating a temporary restraining order that bans the use of tear gas, pepper spray and other tactics against journalists and protesters unless under imminent threat.
The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that Bovino was struck in the head by a rock thrown by “hostile and violent” protesters, though several witnesses challenged that contention.
On Friday, Bovino was ordered to appear before a federal judge on Tuesday.
Whoa, he was the commander and the one who threw it? He’ll get promoted up the ranks and/or get a stern rebuke. Someone needs to check his computers for child porn stat.
