'ICE Agents In Chicago Area Who Aren't Undercover Must Wear Badges Or IDs, Federal Judge Rules'
"CHICAGO — Federal immigration agents who aren’t working undercover are now required to have visible identification anytime they’re on the job in Chicago and surrounding areas — including when they’re making arrests or responding to protests — under a ruling issued by a federal judge Thursday."
"The measure is part of a temporary injunction granted by U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis, who ordered the federal Department of Homeland Security and agencies under it to adhere to a list of rules meant to protect constitutional rights during immigration enforcement in and around Chicago."
"Block Club Chicago and other organizations sought the injunction through a lawsuit filed earlier this week. The suit seeks to bar federal agents from using excessive force against members of the media along with peaceful protesters and others engaging in protected activities."
"In granting the injunction, Ellis said federal agents must now wear badges with identifying information — 'unique, recognizable alpha-numeric' identification — on their uniform or helmet, including when wearing riot gear. She did make an exception for those federal law enforcement officers who work undercover or do not typically wear a uniform, according to her order."
