BREAKING: Blanche, Woodward, and Trent McCotter file a deranged motion in the National Trust ballroom case asking the district court to "immediately" issue an "indicative ruling" that it will dissolve the preliminary injunction that DOJ has already appealed if it gets jurisdiction to do so .

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 1:25-cv-04316-RJL
NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, et al.,
Defendants.
DEFENDANTS' RULE 62.1 MOTION
FOR AN INDICATIVE RULING DISSOLVING THE COURT'S INJUNCTION
"The National Trust for Historic Preservation" is a beautiful name, but even their name is
FAKE because when they add the words "in the United States" to the National Trust for Historic
Preservation, it makes it sound like a Governmental Agency, which it is not. In fact, the United States refused to continue funding it in 2005 because they strongly disagreed with their mission and objectives. They are very bad for our Country. They stop many projects that are worthy, and hurt many others. In this case, they are trying to stop one that is vital to our National Security, and
the Safety of all Presidents of the United States, both current and future, their families, staff, and
Cabinet members. They were asked by the United States Military not to bring this suit because of
the Top Secret nature of the important facility being built. They were shown detailed plans and
specifications of this knitted, unified, and cohesive structure by Top Officers and Leaders in both
the Military and Secret Service. But this did not deter them because they suffer from Trump
Derangement Syndrome, commonly referred to as TDS, as noted by Democrat Senator John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, and are represented by the lawyer for Barack Hussein Obama, Gregory Craig. The lower section of the building does not work without the upper section and,
likewise, the upper section of the building does not work without the lower. It is all one highly

integrated unit! As an example, one venting system, one electrical system, one plumbing system, one security system, one air conditioning and heating system, one elevator connector and, very
importantly, one structural steel and enforced concrete system - and more. Even the bullet proof
windows and glass, and the heavy steel, drone proof roof, protect what is below. With such a
facility, it would have been impossible for an attack like that which took place last Saturday evening in D.C. when an attempted assassin, armed with a shotgun, pistol, and knives, charged through a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton in an attempt to assassinate President
Donald J. Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and members of the President's Cabinet and senior staff, during the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The Secret Service fortunately neutralized the assassin before he could reach the ballroom. However, Saturday's narrow miss- which marks
the third assassination attempt on President Trump since 2024 confirms what should have
already been obvious: Presidents need a secure space for large events, that currently does not exist in Washington, D.C., and this Court's injunction stalling this Project cannot defensibly continue, for the sake of the safety of President Trump, future Presidents, and their families, Cabinets, and
staff. Defendants thus request that this Court issue an indicative ruling under Rule 62.1 that it will
dissolve its injunction.
Three assassination attempts-including the attempt in Butler,
Pennsylvania, where an assassin's bullet hit the President's ear—is enough. There is absolutely
no argument that a woman walking her dog in the vicinity of the White House has STANDING to
stop such a desperately needed structure for the people of the United States of America, as it will
provide Presidents, current and future, a secure space to do their jobs.
The day after this assassination attempt, Defendants asked the Trust whether they oppose
this motion and still se…

This Court should never have enjoined this Project, but now, after the Saturday night
attempted assassination, which could have never taken place in the new facility, reasonable minds
can no longer differ - The injunction must be dissolved. This Court should immediately issue an
indicative ruling that it will dissolve the injunction, and put an end to this frivolous lawsuit, which
greatly endangers the lives of all Presidents, current and future.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

1. I am a resident of the Whittier neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am over 18 years of age. I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting.
2. On Saturday, January 24, 2026, at about 8:50 am, I was getting ready to go to work when I heard whistles outside. I knew the whistles meant that ICE agents were in the area, so I decided to check it out on my way to work. I've been involved in observing in my community because it is so important to document what ICE is doing to my neighbors. Connecting to your local community and knowing who your neighbors are is something I profoundly value.
3. I drove to Nicollet Ave. and 26th where I could hear the whistles coming from. I turned south onto Nicollet. There were already several ICE agents there and they'd set up a sort of vehicle convoy on Nicollet and 28th. There were also about 15 observers there, recording and observing ICE.
4. I saw ICE agents surrounding cars and punching car windows. I also saw them stopping vehicles further down Nicollet, so I backed up because I didn't feel safe continuing on.
5. I noticed a man sort of acting to help traffic move more smoothly. He helped me find a place to park. I got out with my whistle and my camera. I went over to him and said something like, "I'm going to film and use my whistle."
6. It seemed like most ICE activity was happening a little farther down the street from us, near 27th. Someone was being thrown to the ground.

7. I started recording. There was an agent by a car across the street. Two observers were a few feet away from the agent, blowing their whistles. One was wearing a backpack.
8. I and the man who was observing and helping direct traffic were standing in the street. There was a phone in the man's hand recording a video.
9. An agent approached and asked us to back up, so I moved slowly back onto the sidewalk.
10. The man stayed in the street, filming as the other observers I mentioned earlier were being forced backward by another ICE agent threatening them with pepper spray. The man went closer to support them as they got threatened, just with his camera out. I didn't see him reach for or hold a gun.
11. Then the ICE agent shoved one of the other observers to the ground. Then he started pepper spraying all three of them directly in the face and all over. The man with the phone put his hands above his head and the agent sprayed him again and pushed him.
12. Then the man tried to help up the woman the ICE agent had shoved to the ground. The ICE agents just kept spraying. More agents came over and grabbed the man who was still trying to help the woman get up. All three of the observers looked to have been badly affected by the pepper spray. I could feel the pepper spray in my eyes.

13. The agents pulled the man on the ground. I didn't see him touch any of them-he wasn't even turned toward them. It didn't look like he was trying to resist, just trying to help the woman up. I didn't see him with a gun. They threw him to the ground. Four or five agents had him on the ground and they just started shooting him. They shot him so many times.
14.1 don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him.
15. The video I recorded of what happened accurately depicts the events leading up to the agents shooting him and several minutes afterwards. The video is attached as Exhibit 1.
16. I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and it is wrong. The man did not approach the agents with a gun. He approached them with a camera. He was just trying to help a woman get up and they took him to the ground.
17. I feel afraid. Only hours have passed since they shot a man right in front me and I don't feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me. I don't know what the agents will do when they find me. I do know that they're not telling the truth about what happened. I've heard that other witnesses might have been arrested and taken to the Whipple Building.
18. I am disgusted and gutted at how they are treating my neighbors and my state. I keep alternating between crying and feeling determined it is important to remember the value of documenting injustice. We show up for the people who need us to bear

witness, because it can't just be one group of people bearing the brunt of their tyranny. This is a struggle to protect our freedom and democracy, those things are on the line. He lost his life for those values.
I declare under penalty of perjury that everything I have stated in this document is true and correct.

Dated and signed on Jan 24, 2026 in Hennepin County, State of Minnesota.
