Federal immigration officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras, a judge said Thursday after seeing tear gas and other aggressive steps used against protesters.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis said she was a “little startled” after seeing TV images of clashes between agents and the public during President Donald Trump’s administration’s immigration crackdown.

“I live in Chicago if folks haven’t noticed,” she said. “And I’m not blind, right?”

Every win matters. It’s so important to see sensible judges.

    If all cops nationwide are wearing body cameras, it makes no sense that federal officers, who are behaving as police, are not also wearing them.

    It also makes no sense they are plain clothed and masked. But I think the point is to be lawless.
