A federal judge on Tuesday ordered a top U.S. Border Patrol official to appear in court daily to give her updates about immigration operations in Chicago , eliciting pushback from conservative legal experts who say she is overstepping the authority of the court to tell the executive branch how to operate.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis ordered Border Patrol commander-at-large Greg Bovino to report to her daily at 6 p.m. until a preliminary injunction hearing on Nov. 5, “to hear about how the day went” regarding immigration enforcement operations in the area, per the Associated Press . Ellis issued the order while Bovino was questioned by the judge over officers’ use of force during “Operation Midway Blitz.”
