If you're interested in talking about the immigration enforcement efforts in Chicago, I've got two clips for your consideration.

First: check out this news clip of an interview with Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino. I would personally use the segments from 2:15-2:35 and 2:55-3:03. In the first segment, Bovino declares that his team's "use of force" has been "exemplary" in that it has been the "least amount of force necessary to accomplish the mission." In the latter, Bovino says "If someone strays into a pepper ball then that's on them. Don't protest."
