Chicago BP/ICE Commander Gregory Bovino Must Appear In Person Before USDC Judge Ellis, On Tuesday. He May Only Leave In Cuffs, To Detention (For 48 Hours Or So).

The supremely able USDC Judge Sara L. Ellis will question him, under oath.

Forget his coming five hour deposition (by opposing counsel) -- this will feel like a week-long nightmare. She's gonna' find out (based on his answers, under oath) whether he ought to be held in contempt -- and jailed for a day or two -- to shake some sense into him -- related to his dangerous and idiotic stunt (at right).

It plainly violated an in-force TRO -- her TRO, more precisely -- and one of his own lawyers had almost certainly read that TRO to him (as is the duty of government lawyers in such matters, under Chicago's local rules), all just a few days earlier. Check it out:

. . .TEXT ORDER.

The Court sets a status hearing for 10/28/2025 at 10:00 AM.

The Court orders Defendants to produce Defendant Gregory Bovino, in person, for this hearing.

Signed by the Honorable Sara L. Ellis on 10/24/2025. . . .

Bovino is about to meet. . . the sharp end of the federal court's civil contempt spear, here in the City of Big Shoulders -- on the 14^th Floor of the majestic Dirksen Building, downtown -- Tuesday afternoon. I may pop over for all of it. Excellent.
