Attorneys said what happened in one incident in Little Village and another in Old Irving Park shows a pattern of force by federal agents that goes beyond what a court allowed during an enforcement operation.

A visibly displeased federal judge on Tuesday ordered Border Control Cmdr. Gregory Bovino to start coming to court every day to detail any confrontations his immigration enforcement officers have had with the public as allegations have mounted that agents are indiscriminately throwing tear gas in Chicago neighborhoods and using inappropriate force against residents and reporters.

U.S. District Judge Sara L. Ellis called Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino into court to respond to reports that his agents violated her orders.

Mr. Bovino, a Border Patrol leader, appeared to use tear gas during a confrontation with residents on Thursday. Plaintiffs in a suit over federal tactics say that violated a court order.

Confrontation erupted in Chicago on Wednesday as Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino and federal agents descended on several neighborhoods. Police now say a driver tried to ram into an agent’s vehicle.
