Plaintiffs in the Chicago Headlines Club lawsuit claim that DHS is outright refusing to provide drone and BWC footage from a recent attack on peaceful protestors.

DHS is refusing to provide ANY drone footage which ... huh.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

1. Plaintiffs filed a motion for expedited discovery to compel Defendants to produce
all video footage responsive to Plaintiffs’ requests for production Nos. 2 & 5 as ordered by the
Court for the incident October 23, 2025 in Little Village, Chicago, where Defendant Bovino
himself deployed tear gas munitions into a crowd. Dkt. 152.
2. As Plaintiffs motion pointed out, Defendants have posted video montages of this
incident to social media. Id. ¶¶3-4. Plaintiffs pointed out that Defendants social media included
what appears to be body worn camera footage “as well as drone footage” from the October 23rd
incident in Little Village. Id. The two cited DHS social media videos a relevant to this suit. One
Calls the events in Little Village a “riot,” id. n.2, while another purports to depict a rock being
thrown at Bovino, id. n.1.
3. The court granted the motion, and required Defendants to produce “both BWC
and drone footage” from the “use of force incidents on 10/30/2025 in the Little Village
neighborhood” by 9pm on October 29, 2025. Dkt. 159.
4. Defendants refuse to comply with this Court’s unequivocal order. Specifically,
Defendants have simply refused to produce drone footage from Little Village, despite the Court
ordering its production and despite the fact that the Defendants have used it in their social media
to support their contentions that the violence in Little Village (and throughout this District) is
justified.

European negotiators were personally targeted by their American counterparts during a brutal negotiation over green shipping rules, European Commission officials told POLITICO — a highly unusual gambit that left diplomats shaken after the meeting.

The threats were made last month, as the U.S. maneuvered to block a new effort to tax pollution at a meeting of the International Maritime Organization in London.

National delegates were threatened with personal consequences if they went against Washington.

Trump mafia style diplomacy.

“Our negotiators had never seen this before in any international talks,” said one European official, who had spoken to negotiators. “People being summoned to the U.S. Embassy in London — intimidation, threats of cessation of business, threats of family members losing visas.”

Another European Commission official added that diplomats returned home rattled after the meetings: “We had feedback from a number of people involved in the negotiations about the pressure they faced.”

The Trump admin has sought to undermine global climate policy and promote U.S. fossil fuel interests. The president has called efforts to combat global warming a “con job.” He was particularly enraged about the maritime emissions effort, saying it would hit American shippers with unwarranted taxes.

Trump has been shutting down the government since he and Elon Musk (not an elected official) started firing government employees and dismantling government agencies. Trump and Republicans are TOTALLY the blame for the shutdown. Get a clue and start acting like you know.
