V. Motion to Use Defendant’s Chants and Statements of Co- Conspirators to Establish the Elements of § 372 and § 111 The government intends to introduce anti-ICE statements and chants made by the defendants and their co-conspirators that were heard by Broadview Police Officers and captured on audio/video recordings regarding surrounding and preventing ICE vehicles from entering the Broadview ICE facility. For example, in addition to anti-ICE chants plainly heard on audio/video recordings at the Broadview facility, on multiple occasions Broadview Police Officers “heard the protestors discuss to not let ICE cars through to their facility.”2 Such evidence will be introduced to show defendants’ motivation and purpose in joining the conspiracy—e.g., it demonstrates that the co-conspirators swarmed and impeded Agent A’s vehicle because of his affiliation with ICE. These statements and chants will aid the jury’s determination as to whether the government has met the elements of the conspiracy statute and to show 2 This statement and others like it are memorialized in FBI 302s that were furnished to defendants in discovery on April 17, 2026.

defendants’ motive and intent in obstructing Agent A on September 26, 2025. See Wisconsin v. Mitchell, 508 U.S. 476, 489 (1993) (the First Amendment “does not prohibit the evidentiary use of speech to establish the elements of a crime or to prove motive or intent”). “Evidence of a defendant’s previous declarations or statements is commonly admitted in criminal trials subject to evidentiary rules dealing with relevancy, reliability, and the like.” Id. Indeed, Mitchell has been cited to uphold the admission of a wide range of statements, including speeches involving civil disobedience and statements given during protest contexts. See also United States v. LeBeau, 654 Fed. Appx. 826 (7th Cir. 2016) (rejecting defendant’s First Amendment challenge when the government offered defendant’s statements to establish the elements of a crime or to prove motive or intent); United States v. Fullmer, 584 F.3d 132, 156 (9th Cir. 2009) (statements ordinarily protected by First Amendment are admissible when viewed in context with other conduct to show connection with conspiracy).3 Accordingly, the government seeks a pretrial ruling that it may introduce any statements, including those of unknown co-conspirators, that establish the defendants’ motive, intent, or an element of the crime, such as whether they possessed knowledge of the conspiracy with which they are charged. 3 The court in Fullmer specifically noted that one particular defendant’s conduct—which included writing an editorial and recruiting speakers to travel and advocate on behalf of the organization—was not criminal, and that punishing him based on that conduct alone would be unconstitutional. Fullmer, 584 F.3d at 158. The court nonetheless, citing Mitchell, held that this defendant’s “conduct . . . does provide circumstantial evidence from which a jury could have reasonably inferred that Harper was involved in a conspiracy.” Id.

NEW: Federal prosecutors in Chicago say they intend to introduce "anti-ICE statements and chants" during the trial of the remaining "Broadview 6" defendants to show their motivation and that co-conspirators swarmed an ICE agent's vehicle "because of his affiliation with ICE."

Rep. Veasey (D, Texas) just rinsed RFK Jr. on his anti-vax bullshit, and RFK Jr. responded “everything you said is a lie”.

Veasey said that RFK Jr.

1. Claimed the measles outbreak has been fabricated by government officials to create fear.

2. That Hank Aaron died from the COVID19 vaccine.

FCC’s Brendan Carr has actually been invited, while he’s trying to take away press freedoms.

Did American voters really think it was cute to vote for someone whose thing is to call people names? It’s something we’re taught at an early age not to do.
Minor in the scheme of things, but such a telling characteristic.

Instead of doing literally anything to lower costs, Republicans are now racing to give ICE & CBP another $70 billion without ANY accountability.

Families want relief from sky-high prices, not more of their tax dollars thrown at a rogue agency that doesn’t respect their rights.

Trump is so illiterate that he had to pre-record his weird af Bible reading and apparently the government will be reading fork the Bible all week on public television

Two things to unpack here:
1) Trump is so illiterate that they had to pre-record him reading the Bible.
2) The Government is going to read the Bible on public tv all week while for weeks they’ve been howling about how Iran is run by religious extremists.
