The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted an emergency stay of Judge Sara Ellis’s preliminary injunction limiting federal immigration agents’ use of force in Chicago’s “Operation Midway Blitz,” finding the order overbroad, raising separation‑of‑powers concerns, and calling its detailed prescriptions—down to tactics and internal policy mandates—“too prescriptive.” The stay pauses Ellis’s requirements (including expanded body‑camera activation, bans on force against journalists, mandatory warnings before using riot control weapons, and daily briefings by Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino) and puts the dispute on an expedited appellate track while operations and some agent deployments continue.
