On October 28, DHS's social media account claimed that on October 23, "rioters" had "shot at agents with commercial artillery shell fireworks," thus forcing agents to deploy tear gas and riot munitions.

Judge Ellis reviewed the video. This was completely false. The explosions were DHS's flashbangs!
Homeland Security @DHSgoν VIDEO EVIDENCE. ... On October 23, Border Patrol Agents conducted enforcement operations near 27th and Whipple Ave. A large crowd of 75-100 rioters surrounded law enforcement who set up a perimeter after agents were boxed in by a large box truck. Rioters then shot at agents with commercial artillery shell fireworks. A Border Patrol transport van carrying illegal aliens attempting to get to the safety of the perimeter was then attacked. Border Patrol agents were able to secure the van and get it into the perimeter. The mob of rioters grew more hostile and violent, advancing toward agents and began throwing rocks and other objects at agents, including one that struck Chief Greg Bovino in the head. Moreover, videos of what happened in Little Village taken from agents’ BWCs and helicopters do not match up with agents’ descriptions of the alleged chaos they encountered. DHS tried to claim protesters threw fireworks at agents, see Homeland Security (@DHSgov), X (Oct. 28, 2025 at 9:56 a.m.), supra (video at 3:14–3:19 with overlaid text stating “artillery shell type firework shot at agents”), when the helicopter and BWC footage indicates that those explosions were instead agents’ flashbang grenades, see Axon_Body_4_Video_2025-10-23_1056_D01A47477 at 7:43–45; REL146 at 10:03–09. Moreover, aerial footage from CBP’s helicopter shows an agent throwing some type of smoke or gas device on a patch of grass off to the side of 27th Street, which further suggests that CBP, and not protesters, were the ones throwing things that CBP and DHS then used as justification to claim that protesters posed a danger to them. REL146 at 15:07–16:18. Defendants, however, cannot simply create their own narrative of what happened, misrepresenting the evidence to justify their actions.
