Federal Judge in Chicago Delays Dismissing Immigration Agent Lawsuit, Orders Release of Body-Camera Videos
A federal judge in Chicago has put a hold on dismissing a significant lawsuit against immigration agents, following a series of intense raids last year. The suit, filed by Block Club Chicago and reporter groups, alleges First Amendment violations during Operation Midway Blitz in October 2025. The plaintiffs sought to drop the case after agents mostly left the area, but the judge has not rushed to dismiss it. She cited the recent shooting of a Minnesota woman by an ICE agent and ordered the release of body-camera videos and use-of-force reports within 120 days, despite pushback from Homeland Security. The judges ruling highlights concerns about unnecessary violence and misconduct by agents, potentially setting the stage for new civil rights cases if they return with the same tactics.
