A striking example of why good cause exists to modify the order is that the
Government’s false narrative surrounding this case has reached all the way to the
United States Supreme Court. In a recent Supreme Court decision, Justice Samuel
Alito relied on the Government’s briefing repeating the false narratives surrounding
this case and wrote:
In a widely publicized event on October 4, a federal vehicle carrying Border
Patrol agents was boxed in on a public road by 10 civilian vehicles, and 2 of
those vehicles rammed the Government vehicle. As the agents exited their
vehicle, one of the civilian vehicles was driven directly at an agent, forcing the
agent to fire in self-defense.
Trump v. Illinois, No. 25A443, 607 U.S. ___ (Dec. 23, 2025), at 8.
Justice Alito’s reliance on the Government’s statements regarding this case,
without attorneys for the State of Illinois and City of Chicago having the ability to
demonstrate the false nature of these statements given the restrictive Protective
Order, demonstrates the dangerousness of the Government’s actions here. By putting
out their one-sided narrative and then keeping the objective evidence sealed pursuant
to the Protective Order they are forcing the public, and Supreme Court Justices, to
have to rely solely on the Government’s inaccurate version of events. This Court has
the power to shed light on the truth of what happened on October 4.
