Charges dropped against activists in Chicago immigration crackdown amid grand jury misconduct claims - CNN
Overview
Chicago’s top federal prosecutor dropped charges against four activists after a judge scrutinized possible grand jury misconduct, ending a high-profile case and raising questions about prosecutorial conduct. Those judicial checks contrast sharply with a separate federal case in Texas where eight protesters were given decades-long sentences for a shooting, highlighting inconsistent outcomes in enforcement of protest-related offenses. Together these cases heighten concerns about how prosecutors use investigative tools and bring charges in politically charged immigration disputes.
