This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for โ€œillegals trying to vote.โ€

Chicago Tribune (logo)
Attorneys for 'Broadview Six' protesters cite killings in Minneapolis in asking for evidence to be public
Abughazaleh's attorney, Josh Herman, has blasted the indictment as a politically motivated farce that attempts to turn "a protest into a criminal conspiracy."
On Wednesday, Herman told the judge he would likely be filing a motion to dismiss the conspiracy count on First Amendment grounds, saying the "basics for any conspiracy" allegation were missing from the indictment.
"Where does it begin? When does it end? That is a concern," Herman said, noting that if the government's theory were true, then anyone outside the Broadview facility that day could be part of the conspiracy.
After court, Herman told reporters in the lobby of the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse that having the case hanging over her head while running a campaign has been a "tremendous weight" for Abughazaleh, and that if they don't succeed in getting it dismissed they'll ask for a quick trial date.
"I think collectively we want to bring this case to trial sooner because of everything that is happening in this country right now with the DHS," Herman said. "We think what this case would ultimately do is
expose one more overreach."

Clipping of Sun Times article, that reads: 

Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh and five fellow
Broadview demonstrators could face trial this spring on a federal conspiracy_charge tied to Operation Midway Blitz that continues to raise questions about protesters' First Amendment rights.
Attorneys in the case sought a trial date Wednesday during a status hearing before U.S. District Judge April Perry. They did so less than a week after a separate case tied to the feds' aggressive immigration campaign ended with a high-profile jury. acquittal.
However, defense attorneys have signaled that a key issue at trial could be the agent's "decision and motivation to drive his vehicle into a crowd of more than 50 individuals who were peacefully protesting the documented atrocities occurring inside the Broadview facility."
They've noted that no other protester has faced criminal charges for such conduct. They say progressive politics and criticism of the Trump administration "are the only ties that bind" the six defendants.

Criminalizing protest is a hallmark of repression. This case isnโ€™t isolated. Itโ€™s part of a broader effort to silence dissent and erode democracy.

But despite the administrationโ€™s best efforts, weโ€™re going to win.

How to help the resistance to ICE in Minnesota โ€” and beyond What Minnesotaโ€™s immigrant communities need from you now.

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Why didn't we see or hear ICE telling people to get off the street? What we saw was ICE shoving women forcefully to the ground. We've seen (with audio) numerous videos. None of them included show ICE instructing these women. What they do show are men pushing and shoving women to the ground.

Homeland Security sent a memo to Congress to explain the moments leading to Alex Pretti's death.

In it they state people were told to get off the road. When they didn't they were sprayed with chemicals.

How does ICE have the authority to control the public right-of-way? They are not the police.

Just got done with our hearing. We have another status hearing next month with a trial date (hopefully) in the spring.

Itโ€™s more important than ever to stand strong against ICE and with the people protesting it.

Weโ€™re fighting these charges and weโ€™re going to win.

I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE.

When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it.

And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

While Minneapolis mourned a man killed by federal agents, Trumpโ€™s elite gathered in black tie to celebrate a Melania vanity film.
