Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op

MILLENNIUM PARK — Dozens of Border Patrol agents gathered at the Bean early Monday for a photo op, with chief Gregory Bovino and a few guard dogs at the front.

It appeared to be a photo shoot for the latest photo op from the agency, which has repeatedly used photos and videos of agents posing in Chicago on social media.

Just before 6:30 a.m., adjacent Monroe Street was filled with undercover SUVs; after 7 a.m., the agents in green fatigues — many with large firearms — poured out and marched to artist Anish Kapoor’s Cloud Gate.

As the federal agents posed in front of the shiny metal art piece, a park worker approached Block Club Chicago‘s photographer and told him the artist is known to “sue” anyone who uses his artwork in a way he doesn’t like.
