Justice Department Indicts Congressional Candidate Kat Abughazaleh
The Justice Department has indicted Democratic Illinois congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh on federal charges for participating in a nonviolent protest outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility near Chicago.
Abughazaleh, along with five other protesters, is accused of "impeding and interfering with an officer of the United States" during a protest in Broadview, Illinois, where ICE agents were "forced to drive at an extremely slow rate of speed," according to federal authorities.
Let’s be clear: If six people nonviolently protesting outside a government facility constitutes a criminal conspiracy, all First Amendment-protected activity is at risk.
The government also charged the six protesters with conspiracy to prevent the officer from discharging his duties.
Author's summary: Kat Abughazaleh indicted for nonviolent protest.
