This is not just incompetent grand-standing, by the Noemite lawyers. This is an intentional attempt to mislead class members about the contours of the coming dismissal.
Shumate et al., here preposterously imply that if Bovino returns, and cracks skulls again in Little Village or Evanston, that these same people -- who protested this Summer and Fall in Chicagoland. . . will be prevented from suing for their ENTIRELY NEW injuries. That is obviously a false statement.
The claims from the prior period are gone -- but this is not a "hall pass" to come back and cock-up, again for Bovino. What a bunch of losers / dead enders these folks are:
. . .After months of litigation, and just weeks after securing a sweeping preliminary injunction and a 233-page opinion justifying it. . . Plaintiffs are seeking to throw in the towel. This is transparent procedural gamesmanship. To be sure, if Plaintiffs want to stop litigating and this Court grants their motion for dismissal with prejudice, that is beyond Defendants’ control. But this gambit should be seen for what it is. . . .
“A dismissal with prejudice is a ruling on the merits, because it carries with it a preclusive effect that prevents the plaintiffs from relitigating -- in any court, ever again -- [Ed. Note: this is true, under well-settled law, ONLY AS TO the specific acts of lawlessness by Bovino, et al., from the Mid-Spring of 2025 to November 18, 2025] any claim encompassed by the suit”; Phillips v. Shannon, 445 F.2d 460, 462 (7th Cir. 1971) (“A dismissal with prejudice is as conclusive of the rights of the parties as an adverse judgment after trial, being res judicata of all questions which might have been litigated in the suit[.]”) (internal quotations omitted).
This includes those members of the certified class who “will in the future non-violently demonstrate, protest, observe, document, or record at Department of Homeland Security immigration enforcement and removal operations in the Northern District of Illinois. . . .”
Now you know -- sheesh. Don't fall for this. At bottom, the Noemite lawyers are just butt-sore that they been out maneuvered, at every important turn.
Yet significantly, in this way, any GOP/MAGA judges on the random three judge panel in the Seventh Circuit are foreclosed from making rulings that might hurt other pending lawsuits, and litigants, in other Circuits -- since Chicago activists have already peacefully run the Bovino "brute squad" out of town. [Fully 7/8ths of the some 6,700 people Bovino arrested around Chicago have already been set free (without anything more than a nominal $1 bond!), due to Bovino's utter failure -- to secure the required Fourth Amendment judicial warrants -- and similar infirmities.] Onward!
