According to body-camera video that is certain to play a key role in the trial, Grayson & Massey joked about how the deputy backed away as she moved the pan before Massey said, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.” Grayson later told sheriff’s investigators he thought Massey’s statement meant she intended to kill him, yelled at her to drop the pot & in the subsequent commotion, fired 3 shots, striking her just below the eye.

WGN's report on ICE arresting and throwing their news producer into a minivan.
Witnesses say the producer was just taking videos when ICE snatched the US citizen.

ICE officials are driving without license plates in Illinois. They have been accused of several hit-and-run incidents in Broadview.
“'It’s also a dangerous situation,' the ACLU's Alexandra Block) says. 'People don’t know that they are federal agents, and it’s an invitation to copycats who are bad actors kidnapping people because there’s no way to distinguish kidnappers from federal agents when they’re acting this way.'”

Judge Perry says the order will say defendants are "temporarily enjoined from ordering the federalization & deployment of the #NationalGuard of the #UnitedStates within #Illinois."
👏👏👏
You have to be very clear with these snakes.
#Court is adjourned.
Once Judge Perry’s written order is posted, I will link it (she said Friday) Isn’t it nice when justice is served & democracy is upheld?

Judge Perry: "Any reason I can't just say 'National Guard'?"
Wells' co-counsel: "You could say 'National Guard of the United States.'"
Wells' co-counsel also reminds Perry that members of the #California #NationalGuard are also in #Illinois [wait, I thought it was just #Texas].

Judge Perry is back on the bench.
Trump admin lawyers had left the courtroom, though. So now Perry is waiting on them.
Christopher Wells from #Illinois tells Perry "we would request the addition of language intended to cover #NationalGuard from other states, or the National Guard of the #UnitedStates.
"We don't want to get into an #Oregon situation."

I love how the federal judge gave the DOJ until 4 pm to submit evidence regarding the National Guard protecting the federal courthouse in Chicago.
Not a good sign.
"Perry says she will call the court back into session between 4:30 pm and 5 pm to rule; she gives DOJ until 4 pm to offer more evidence that anyone has called for national guard troops to protect the Dirksen courthouse."
