As we said last week,the supremely able USDC Judge Sara L. Ellis will question Commander Bovino (a Noemite), under oath. But now summonses for at least a dozen others have gone out. I don’t think Noem herself, or Miller — will be hauled into court tomorrow… but stranger things have happened when a Chicago federal judge’s TRO orders are wilfully and wantonly violated (as here). Over, and over… again.
Doubly so, when peaceful marchers are exercising their Constitutional right to protest — and help protect, their fellow good neighbors… from warrantless arrests, searches and seizures — on private property. These feds must respect local law. And the local law in Chicago… is we have a welcoming ordinance, and we are a sanctuary city. These laws have been blessed by the Supremes in Trump 1.0. So nothing has really changed.
Be ready for a banger of a live blog tomorrow. Damn. Read the supplemented / updated motion, here (detailing Friday’s violations — with video, again!):
…Most of the protestors were slowly walking in pace with the SUVs as they moved through the neighborhood. See, e.g., Exhibit 90. The protestors were non-violent and, though strongly opposed to the presence of the agents, were filming, blowing whistles, and expressing their desire that the agents leave their neighborhood. Id.; see also Exhibit 93 at 0:00-38….
Without any verbal warning, and without any threat to the officers, an agent in the SUV going backwards threw a tear gas canister out of the window of the car directly at a group of people. See Exhibit 93 at 0:39-41. Almost immediately after, what appears to be the same agent threw a second tear gas canister out of the vehicle window at the same group of residents in the street. Id. at 0:41-1:00. As before, no warning was given before the second canister was deployed….
Do stay tuned. We the people… are… unafraid. These are OUR streets. “This is what democracy looks like!”
