The Border Patrol agent, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, testified he was not injured by the sandwich but that he could "smell the onions and mustard." trib.al/TKBbxXa

Oh it is the Bortac Multicam Black team! We have seen them before often times operating near and under the command of Bovino. They are often associated with incidents of higher levels of violence.
NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.
