WASHINGTON — Anish Kapoor, the world-renowned sculptor behind Chicago’s “Cloud Gate” (a.k.a. “The Bean”) is speaking out after images surfaced showing federal Border Patrol agents staging a photo-op in front of his iconic work.

Early Monday morning, Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino led dozens of masked, armed agents to Millennium Park for a choreographed shoot with Department of Homeland Security photographers. Witnesses said the agents shouted “Little Village,” referencing a heavily Latino neighborhood frequently targeted by enforcement sweeps.
