In a victory for Homeland Security, an appeals court on Wednesday blocked a Tuesday order requiring a Border Patrol commander to check in with a judge daily with an update on immigration sweeps in Chicago.

An "act of judicial overreach has been paused," DHS said of the ruling.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis ordered Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino to check in daily because of perceived increasingly aggressive tactics and excessive force during Operation Midway Blitz, which has resulted in over 1,800 arrests.

Bovino told Fox News he was eager to talk to Ellis, but at the same time DHS lawyers were appealing the ruling as "extraordinarily disruptive."

"Significantly interferes"

"The order significantly interferes with the quintessentially executive function of ensuring the Nation’s immigration laws are properly enforced by waylaying a senior executive official critical to that mission on a daily basis," the Justice Department argued.

"We are thrilled this act of judicial overreach has been paused," DHS said in a statement about the block to The Associated Press.

DHS released footage on Tuesday of what appeared to be Border Patrol agents being besieged by a crowd during an immigration raid in Chicago's Little Village, a Southwest Side neighborhood that houses one of the largest Mexican-American communities in the Midwest.

"VIDEO EVIDENCE," DHS captioned the video, referring to the violent protests and other efforts to interfere with Border Patrol's job of arresting and deporting illegal immigrants.

Media misleads

Along with illegal immigrants, some U.S. citizens have also been arrested when they have tried to stop agents from doing their jobs.

DHS blasted the Washington Post after that outlet accused it of misleading the public in its videos.

“What a dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate piece from @WashingtonPost,” DHS wrote.

”Brutal assaults, and attacks by antifa terrorists have surged against our officers for months now, and the Washington Post has completely ignored them,” the department added.

Maybe if the media didn't try to make out DHS and Border Patrol as overly aggressive while ignoring the assaults on them by both illegal immigrants and citizens who are against their raids, they wouldn't have to mask up to protect themselves.

When the leftist media perpetuates the narrative that Border Patrol agents are being overzealous in their raids and arrests, it only creates scenarios where more people try to fight them, causing them to use more force to accomplish their objective.
