Border Patrol and ICE leadership have already testified over the use of force and deployment of tear gas during Operation Midway Blitz.

Customs Border Patrol Commander Kyle Harvick and ICE Deputy Field Director Shawn Byer told Judge Ellis during a hearing Monday that none of their agents have been disciplined after tear gas was deployed during incidents in Albany Park and on the Southeast Side.

During testimony officials say verbal warnings were given before tear gas was used, this comes in the aftermath of immigration arrests.

ABC7 Legal Analyst Gil Soffer says nothing has changed with the judge's ruling:

"The TRO remains in effect and the next stage is a preliminary injunction hearing which is a mini trial of sorts where there will be testimony, arguments and a fuller discussion of all the issues we've seen so far," Soffer said.

The judge ordered all video that shows agents using tear gas needs to be preserved. But videos before September 18 have likely been erased.

The judge will allow attorneys to question other federal officials, including Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino, who is leading Border Patrol operations in Chicago.
