CBP Commander accused of throwing tear gas canisters, violating judge's order

CHICAGO — Gregory Bovino, a Commander with the U.S. Border Patrol, is facing allegations of defying a federal judge’s temporary restraining order after reportedly being caught on camera deploying tear gas during an immigration operation in Chicago on Thursday.

Legal documents now include an image purportedly showing Bovino hurling what seems to be a tear gas canister at demonstrators in the Little Village area of Chicago. Filmed by a protester, the footage allegedly captures Bovino tossing one or two canisters over fellow federal agents, directing them towards a gathering of protesters.
