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.

On Monday morning at the Bean, Bovino warned the agents that a media member was present during their photo op, saying to “mask up.”

The agents took a few photos, then they left the park by 7:30 a.m., some posing for photos and navigating over the slippery ice from the night’s winter storm.
