order on motion for disclosure |
|
MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Hearing held 5/21/2026 on the motion for disclosure of the prosecutors' colloquies with the grand jury [143]. For the reasons stated in court, that motion was granted, and the Government was directed to provide both the redacted versions of the transcripts that were initially provided to the court and the unredacted versions of the transcripts that were later provided to the court to Defendants by 3:00 p.m. today. Arguments were also held on the petition filed by the Better Government Association, Chicago Sun-Times, and Chicago Tribune for intervention and to access the 5/21/2026 sealed hearing [183]. The motion to intervene was granted, the motion to attend the sealed hearing was denied, and the seal was ultimately lifted on the proceeding, with the transcript of today's hearing to be available to be ordered from the Court Reporter. The transcript will be redacted only to the extent there are references to the grand jurors' personal opinions about the case. The Government's oral motion to dismiss the superseding information, with prejudice, was granted. The Government further agreed to remove from its website the press release stating that the defendants had been charged or in the alternative to add a banner noting that the charges were dismissed. The trial date and all related deadlines were vacated. The Defendants are to file their position papers on Intervenors' motion for unsealing the colloquy portions of the grand jury transcripts by 5/27/2026; the Government to file its response by 5/29/2026. Status hearing to be held on ancillary issues 6/2/2026 at 10:30 a.m. in person in Courtroom 1725. Mailed notice. (jcc,)

order on motion for miscellaneous relief |
|
MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Hearing held 5/7/2026 on Defendants' motion to dismiss the conspiracy charge [144]. Given the Government's subsequently-filed motion to dismiss Count 1 of the indictment (i.e., the conspiracy charge) [147], Count 1 of the indictment is dismissed with prejudice. Defendants' motion [144], which requests the exact relief that the Government requested, is denied as moot. Despite the fact that the parties are in agreement as to the appropriate result, and that the Court has granted the relief they both requested, Defendant Brian Straw has filed another motion [148], which is labeled "Motion to Make Offer of Proof Regarding Government's Motion to Dismiss Count One of the Indictment." An offer of proof is a proffer by an attorney as to what evidence the court has excluded would have shown, in order to preserve an argument for appeal. Defendant's motion contains no proffer of evidence, and given that everyone has received the exact relief they asked for, there is no possibility of appeal. Defendant's motion is not an offer of proof, it is an argument. Moreover, it is an argument about an issue Defendant already won. It is a waste of time and resources to hold arguments on issues about which the parties agree. Nor does the Court dedicate resources to conducting an inquiry into why, precisely, they all agree. A dismissal with prejudice is as good as it could have gotten for Defendants, and the Court agrees that the interests of justice were served by the dismissal. The Court intends to focus on the many substantive motions that remain pending, and encourages everyone involved to do the same. Defendant's motion [148] is denied. Mailed notice. (jcc,) Modified on 5/8/2026 (jcc, ).

MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Status hearing held 4/29/2026. Defendants' motion to file an oversized brief [138] is granted. Defendants' motion to dismiss on First Amendment grounds [100] is denied, for the reasons stated in open court. Defendants' motion for grand jury transcripts [118] is denied as moot, based upon the Government's representation that it will be filing a superseding information that only alleges misdemeanor charges against Defendants. Defendants' motion for Agent A's text messages [131] is granted. The Government is to provide to the Defendants any relevant text messages that constitute Brady or Jencks Act material by 5/12/2026. Government's motion in limine V, regarding the admission of anti-ICE statements and chants made by Defendants and their co-conspirators is denied without prejudice. The Government may re-raise the issue in a supplemental motion in limine that identifies (1) specific statements the Government proposes to admit; (2) who the speaker(s) were; (3) when and where the statements were made; (4) which Defendant(s) the statements are intended to be used against; (5) any other evidence that supports an inference that the statement at issue is relevant to motive and intent as to a particular Defendant or Defendants; and (6) the hearsay exception that applies. Any supplemental motions in limine are to be filed by 5/7/2026 and should include notice as to whether any previously-filed motions in limine are being withdrawn. Supplemental motion responses are to be filed by 5/14/2026. Joint proposed statement of the case as well as witness lists, exhibit lists, proposed voir dire, and draft jury instructions are to be filed by 5/12/2026. Pre-trial conference is re-set to 5/18/2026 at 1:00 p.m. in person in Courtroom 1725. Mailed notice. (jcc,)

ORDER as to Michael Rabbitt: Initial appearance and arraignment held on 11/12/2025. Defendant self-surrendered on 11/12/2025. Retained counsel Attorney Nancy DePodesta appears on behalf of the Defendant. Defendant informed of the charges against him in the Indictment and the maximum possible sentence/fine if convicted of the charges. Defendant acknowledged receipt of the Indictment; waived formal reading of the Indictment; and, entered a plea of not guilty to the Indictment. The Government and Defendant agree on certain conditions of release. Defendant released on a $4,500 appearance bond with conditions. Enter Order Setting Conditions of Release. Rule 16.1(a) conference to be held by 11/19/2025. Status hearing is set before Judge Perry on 12/04/2025 at 10:30 a.m. The Government's unopposed oral motion to exclude time is granted. The time from 11/12/2025 through 12/04/2025 is excluded under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7) to serve the ends of justice. Excluding time will permit the parties to review discovery materials and allow the time that is reasonably necessary for effective preparation. Such delay outweighs the interests of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial, particularly at this early stage of the case. Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 5(f)(1), the Court confirmed the continuing obligation of the United States to disclose information favorable to the Defendant as to guilt or punishment, and possible consequences of nondisclosure. For further details, please see the attached written order. Defendant is to report to the 24th Floor of the U.S. U.S. Marshals Office to be processed by the U.S. Marshals Office.
