flag A federal judge's 2025 Chicago protest order was partly blocked by the appeals court over reporting rules.

flag Federal Judge Sara Ellis, appointed by Obama in 2013, issued a temporary order in November 2025 requiring federal agents in Chicago to avoid violent tactics during protests and to report to her, citing concerns over excessive force and tear gas use. flag The Department of Homeland Security challenged the reporting requirement, leading the Seventh Circuit to overturn that part of her order, ruling she overstepped her authority. flag A hearing is scheduled to determine if her broader restraining order will become a preliminary injunction. flag Ellis, known for her focus on civil rights and law enforcement accountability, has presided over high-profile cases involving surveillance, immigration, and police conduct. flag Her actions underscore the judiciary’s role in balancing protest rights with public order.
