04.03.2026 02:28 β π 38 π 2 π¬ 2 π 0This motion concerns video footage, as well as access logs and other data located on a decommissioned hard drive. The records at issue have been the subject of multiple Court orders, including Dkt. 151 (1/22/26) and Dkt. 163 (2/13/26). As described in Plaintiffs' response brief Dkt. 184, a description not contested by Defendants at the video hearing on 3/2/26, Defendants have not yet completed the production of records due 2/27/26. Indeed, at the video hearing, Defendants informed the Court that as further technical processes continue, they are unable to predict when the production could be completed. As discussed on the record, the Court finds that Defendants have not moved with reasonable diligence in response to the Court orders regarding these records. The record reflects inexplicable delays, miscommunications, and bureaucratic hurdles to Case: 1:25-cv-13323 Document #: 188 Filed: 03/03/26 Page 2 of 2 PagelD #:2726 completion of this project β problems outside the technological issues with the decommissioned server. The Court finds no good cause for this timeline.
With these considerations in mind, the Court grants Defendants an extension through 3/4/26 to complete its production of video footage as well as the outstanding logs and data records. After that date, based on Defendants' repeated failure to comply with the Court's discovery orders regarding these records, Defendants are precluded from contesting at the preliminary injunction hearing Plaintiffs' witnesses' descriptions of what the video footage would have shown, had it been preserved and timely produced. There are four important caveats to this ruling: First, this ruling is for purposes of the preliminary injunction hearing only. If Defendants are able to produce these records in a timely manner in post-preliminary injunction discovery, this restriction will not apply at trial. Second, this ruling also does not provide a broad adverse inference that would relieve Plaintiffs of their obligation to present evidence or testimony as to the conditions at the Broadview facility. Third, this ruling applies only to areas of the facility covered by a missing camera and not covered by any other camera. And fourth, this ruling does not extend to footage of the time period 10/19/25-10/31/25, which will be the subject of separate consideration.
In a case over the Broadview immigration detention facility outside Chicago, Judge McNally finds that the government has been too slow in turning over video evidence, set a sharp deadline that anything they don't turn over by Wednesday can't be relied upon at the preliminary injunction hearing.

Is your country ruled by an aging megalomaniac whose supporters worship him with an almost cult-like zeal?
Has your leader eroded trust in elections by attempting to bring them under his direct control and/or stoking false claims of voter fraud?
Concentration camps fomenting sickness? Ya don't say.
Again: ICE/DHS "camps" & "facilities" are evil & must be shut down, all prisoners released back to their homes in the US, & everyone running these horrific places fed to ravenous sharks.
I guess what I'm saying is - please buy my books.

If you have space for it, a standing multi-shelved mini greenhouse is great. We kept ours on the back patio at the apartment; at the house it'll be on the enclosed front porch for best sun. Indoors is fine if you have grow lights, & warming mats help immensely with germination too!
