Federal prosecutors failed twice to get a grand jury to indict six protesters outside an ICE facility in Chicago — jurors first questioned why the officer who drove into them wasn't being charged, then rejected the same argument a week later. Released transcripts show a judge called the prosecution "shocking" and U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros personally dropped the case after prosecutors dismissed skeptical jurors, sparking calls for his resignation. The case became so tainted that even a federal judge intervened, a rare move that exposed what amounts to prosecutorial overreach against protest activity.
