ORDERED that Defendants are enjoined from using, disbursing, or transferring funds appropriated to the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") to develop, create, disseminate, place, distribute, publish, or air the challenged advertisements; and it is further
ORDERED that Defendants shall cancel or cause to be cancelled any slot, placement, reservation, or arrangement for the airing or dissemination of the challenged advertisements,
including those placements for the evening of October 11, 2026;
ORDERED that Defendants shall not enter into, renew, or expand any agreement authorizing the development, creation, dissemination, placement, or airing of the challenged
advertisements; and it is further

ORDERED that the foregoing instructions bind Defendants' officers, agents, employees, contractors, and anyone acting in concert with them. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(d)(2).
ORDERED that Defendants shall immediately provide a copy of this order to LMD,
under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(d)(2)(C), and that LMD, as a contractor that is in active concert and participation with Defendants, is enjoined from continuing to run or place the
challenged advertisements; and it is further
ORDERED that Defendants will file a status report within 24 hours of the entry of this temporary restraining order and Section 705 stay, confirming compliance with this Order; and it
is further
ORDERED that this Order shall remain in effect until 14 days from today, subject to an extension of this Court; and it is further
ORDERED that, in the Court's discretion, Plaintiffs shall not be required to post a bond.

Case 1:26-cv-08882-JLR Document 41 Filed 10/11/26 Page 4 of 4
This Order shall be effective as of 6:45 p.m. on October 11, 2026 and the Clerk of Court
is respectfully requested to close the motion at Dkt. 25. The Court will reschedule the October
13, 2026 conference to discuss next steps in this matter.

I liked this one. It felt more like Fleming than other pastiches. And I prefer the Cold War-era setting for Bond to the more updated Bonds (but I read those, too). If they reboot the movie franchise, I hope they go with a Cold War setting. Those gadgets. Those cars. Those fashions. That vibe.
