Why? Bc the body gifting ICE Air all this public cash – the Delaware River and Bay Authority, or DRBA – is an oversight black hole.

19-week training program, Maltinsky was handed a letter terminating his employment with the
FBI. The letter was signed by Defendant Patel ("Patel"). In the letter, Patel wrote that he had
"determined that [Maltinsky] exercised poor judgment with an inappropriate display of political signage in [his] work area during [his] previous assignment at the Los Angeles Field Office." In short, Patel fired Maltinsky for displaying a pride flag at his workstation that had been flown by the FBI at the LAFO and then given by the FBI to Maltinsky.
The Defendants' discrimination against Maltinsky for engaging in protected speech
was a clear and brazen violation of federal law and the Constitution.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreid5rog4gjpv3qeneunmoyqxoesnuxac2srp3u6ppnjdxphfv7jcoe@jpeg)

DHS claimed an incident on Oct. 3 showed agents were in danger of being "rammed."
In fact, body cams "suggest[] that the agent drove erratically and brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."
In fact, body cams "suggest[] that the agent drove erratically and brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."
![Defendants also highlighted an October 3, 2025 video, presumably to show that agents driving the streets faced constant danger from cars ramming them on purpose. Axon Body 3. Video. But instead of leaving this impression, the video, which almost entirely consists of a view of the back seat of the car and some dialogue about how the agent’s “body cam is on” and he is “still recording,” suggests that the agent drove erratically and brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force. Id. This also calls into question Hewson’s testimony that motorists have rammed into agents every day during the operation. [FN 8]
[FN 8] 8 The Court acknowledges that at times agents have dealt with aggressive drivers. See, e.g., Axon_Body_4_Video_2025-10-23. But this has not been the norm in the videos that the Court has viewed, with agents instead often treating cars that are merely following them but not driving aggressively as potential threats. See, e.g., Axon_Body_4_Video_2025-10-23_1011_D01A31902 at 2:00–3:20 (showing an agent stating to a woman who had been behind his vehicle and gotten out to video agents as they stopped at the exit of an alley that “if you keep following us, we’re going to arrest you, you’ve been warned,” but nothing prevented the agents from continuing to drive); Axon_Body_4_Video_2025-10-23_1012_D01A45488 at 2:00–2:45 (showing that, despite having a clear path to continue driving, an agent gets out of his vehicle and tells a woman in the car behind him who was honking that “You know what you’re doing is illegal and you could be arrested for impeding law enforcement. I’m just warning you . . . following law enforcement, honking, and harassing agents is impeding law enforcement”); Axon_Body_4_Video_2025-10-25_1045_D01A36942 at 3:42–3:50 (Agent (tapping on glass of a car behind agents’ vehicle): “Stop following us.” Bystander: “They’re allowed to follow you.” Agent: “No they’re not.”).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifvyjcsr7lb6a65impvn6jer5hiorc5r4isr7hwbeussapmkqhnqi@jpeg)

DHS claimed that agents were forced to use riot munitions to disperse an "unruly mob" on September 19.
In fact, "the scene [was] quiet," and then "almost immediately and without warning, agents lob flashbang grenades, tear gas, and pepper balls, stating 'fuck yea!' as they do so."

![For example, Defendants directed the Court to two videos of agents outside the Broadview facility the evening of September 19, 2025. Doc. 232 at 1. In those videos, agents stand behind a fence preparing to leave the facility’s gates and disperse what Defendants described as an unruly mob. Axon Body 3 Video 2025-09-19 2045 X60AB474J; Axon Body 3 Video 2025-09-19 2045 X60AB375H. The scene appears quiet as the gate opens, revealing a line of protesters standing in the street holding signs. Axon Body 3 Video 2025-09-19 2045 X60AB474J at 1:30; Axon Body 3 Video 2025-09-19 2045 X60AB375H at 1:45. Almost immediately and without warning, agents lob flashbang grenades, tear gas, and pepper balls at the protesters, stating, “fuck yea!”, as they do so, and the crowd scatters. Axon Body 3 Video 2025-09-19 2045 X60AB474J at 1:30–6:30; Axon Body 3 Video 2025-09-19 2045 X60AB375H at 1:45–3:20. This video disproves Defendants’ contentions that protesters were the ones shooting off fireworks, refusing orders, and acting violently so as to justify the agents’ use of force. [FN 7] See Doc. 172-8 (CBP use of force report for evening of September 19, 2025);
[FN 7]: 7 In one of the videos, someone throws a projectile back at agents, which one individual tells agents another person did to protect the crowd from the agents’ use of force. Axon Body 3 Video 2025-09-19 2045 X60AB375H at 4:00–5:00. This is also mentioned in the use of force report, although it is reported that the crowd threw “dangerous objects” at agents “[w]ithout provocation.” Doc. 172-8 at 19, 21. The BWC footage disproves the representation that the crowd threw objects “without provocation,” and the fact that protestors threw objects at agents after they deployed force cannot be used as justification for the use of force that preceded it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreig4qz3vzcukthnaqgcwjwjbhibbdires2m3cwnw4q6mbzsu57fyza@jpeg)

![II. Credibility
The Court next addresses the credibility of the parties’ evidence and witnesses. After reviewing all the evidence submitted to the Court and listening to the testimony elicited at the preliminary injunction hearing, during depositions, and in other court proceedings, the Court finds Defendants’ evidence simply not credible. [FN 6]
Plaintiffs submitted a mountain of evidence, providing the Court with over eighty declarations, numerous videos and articles, and other evidence. Defendants did not rebut anything that Plaintiffs set forth in their declarations or testimony, even with BWC footage.
[FN 6] In another case considering some of the same evidence presented to this Court, another court in this district also found that the perceptions of certain of Defendants’ declarants, such as Hott and Parra, were not reliable. See Illinois v. Trump, No. 25-cv-12174, 2025 WL 2886645, at *5 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 10, 2025) (noting a “troubling trend of Defendants’ declarants equating protests with riots and a lack of appreciation for the wide spectrum that exists between citizens who are observing, questioning, and criticizing their government, and those who are obstructing, assaulting, or doing violence”), motion to stay denied in part, 155 F.4th 929 (7th Cir. 2025).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifpyry2il5toxbr3iejgrsxs6kmnwve75qwnhebfp44ieyjrfpsdu@jpeg)
