Appeals court temporarily blocks order requiring Bovino to meet with judge every day
The U.S. Department of Justice has appealed a federal judge's order that mandated Customs and Border Protection Commander-at-Large Greg Bovino to check-in with the judge daily to ensure compliance with a temporary restraining order that restricted federal agents' use of force.
The DOJ filed the appeal just hours before Bovino was slated to check-in with the court for the first time Wednesday.
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals responded to the appeal later Wednesday and decided to temporarily pause the order requiring Bovino to appear in court daily.
The first meeting with Judge Sara Ellis was set to be an opportunity for the judge to review with Commander Bovino any use of force incidents that may have taken place between Border Patrol agents and residents.
