Judge Warns Midway Blitz Agents Could Be Ordered to Hand Over Personal Phones

At an October 8 hearing, U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis said any DHS employee who worked Operation Midway Blitz might be ordered to turn over personal phones if the Illinois and Chicago lawsuit proceeds, noting agents used personal phones for work communication. She did not issue an order and is set to rule November 17 on DHS’s motion to dismiss.
