Charges dismissed for 2 of ‘Broadview 6’ ICE facility protesters
Lawyers seek evidence showing ‘improper influence’ by President Trump over ‘political’ prosecutions.

Lawyers seek evidence showing ‘improper influence’ by President Trump over ‘political’ prosecutions.

Police and Cook County sheriffs detained 21 people by midday Friday, and said four officers were injured. Demonstrators sang and chanted before allegedly crossing a protest barrier around 10 a.m.

The charges stem from a protest Sept. 26 outside the Broadview ICE facility, which has been the subject of separate litigation.

The ruling follows hours of testimony from former detainees who couldn’t speak to lawyers.
