DOJ can't shoot straight
Defense attorney Chris Parente says there were actually "missing pages" from the "Broadview Six" grand jury transcript.
Conspiracy charges against the Broadview Six had already been dismissed.
After meeting in camera with the judge to review (redacted -- why?) grand jury testimony, DOJ dropped all remaining charges with prejudice -- meaning the charges can't be refiled. Sanctions against the government are still possible, owing to "significant errors" related to the grand jury
DOJ has not yet won a single assault/impeding an officer case related to Market Blitz.

misleading grand juries for quick indictments failed twice each for Comey and Le ia James, apparently it has failed here too
https://www.injusticewatch.org/civil...an-ben-palmer/Near the bottom of the alert, DHS acknowledged the comedian did not pose a danger. “At this time, there appears to be no direct threat to life or infrastructure,” the alert reads.
the prosecution basically abused the grand jury until it issued a true bill
then it tried to convict on a redacted record
then DOJ withdrew hastily when its own behavior was about to be revealed

another US citizen shackled and detained by ICE
local police declared her state-issued ID and Social Security card fake and turned her over to ICE, which apparently didn't accept them either at first

it's a dumb idea and illegal as
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/dh...28/id/1257847/Major airline and hotel industry groups are sounding the alarm over a Trump administration proposal to halt customs and immigration processing at airports in sanctuary cities, warning the move could severely disrupt international travel and tourism at a critical time.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Tuesday on Fox News’ "Hannity" that if "radical left Democrats" continue refusing to allow federal immigration enforcement, "we shouldn’t be processing international flights into their cities either."
The proposal comes as the U.S. prepares to host millions of international visitors for next month’s FIFA World Cup across cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
yesterday US agents pushed somebody under an 18-wheeler, then continued to beat him up on the ground and detain him
https://bsky.app/profile/noturtlesou.../3mmz3vnzao22rTwo nights ago, I told the ICE agents in front of Delaney Hall that this was the most violence I had experienced from them. They were surprised it wasn’t Minnesota, where many of them had also been deployed, or Chicago.
lying thug faces criminal charges related to Metro Surge

Investigators with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension located the agent in Texas, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office said in a news release Friday.
Castro was taken into custody by law enforcement officials from Texas and Minnesota Friday morning on charges of assault in the seconddegree and falsely reporting a crime in connection with the shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis during an attempted immigration arrest on Jan. 14.
mass deportation wrecks families and wrecks the lives of US citizens
https://americasvoicecnn.substack.co...aration-crisisA May 18 report from the Brookings Ins ution estimates that nearly 147,000 American citizen kids have seen a parent detained under the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant obsessions, which have already endangered children’s safety by diverting federal resources away from investigating predators and traffickers in order to target hardworking moms and dads. The think tank found that of that number, more than 22,000 of these American kids have experienced the detention of both of their parents.

military occupation of DC continues for no good reason
https://www.npr.org/2026/06/04/nx-s1...ngton-dc-crimePresident Trump's deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C. has reduced petty property crimes, but has had little to no effect on violent crime, despite the high cost to taxpayers, accordingto a new analysis from the nonpartisan think tank Niskanen Center.
The study's findings were published just weeks after federal officials announced that the number of troops in D.C. is set to double this summer to 5,000 as part of a "summer surge" of law enforcement ahead of events planned for America's 250th birthday celebration.
another felony assault case got reduced to a misdemeanor then fell apart completely
tl:dr
DHS arrested a protester, took trophy pics then swore out false affidavits. Pam Bondi posted the pics to social media with derogatory information that could compromise the protester's right to a fair trial.
When video evidence that contradicted the affidavits emerged and the judge ordered DOJ to show their hand, the DOJ moved to dismiss the case without prejudice.
The court dismissed with prejudice

DOJ vouched, concealed a no-bill then tried to re-indict on the same information and communicated with grand jurors outside the courtroom -- in the Broadview Six conspiracy case in Chicago.
DOJ dropped felony charges but continued to prosecute misdemeanors.
When the defense caught a whiff of their misconduct, DOJ tried to dismiss everything in order to make the record moot.
DOJ's attempt to bury their turds in the catbox has obviously failed.

DOJ drops fraud charges in a doomed attempt to avoid scrutiny of its own behavior
https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2...department-dojThe dismissal marked the first case to crumble under what another judge called a “credibility crisis” swirling around U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros’ office following the collapse of the Broadview prosecution last month.
On Thursday, the feds moved to drop charges against two “low level of operators” linked to former Loretto Hospital chief financial officer Anosh Ahmed. They did so to avoid a hearing that could have put Boutros on the witness stand to address fresh allegations of prosecutorial misconduct.
“We have cases throughout this building that are all in turmoil,” U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman said while dismissing the charges Friday. “Pandora’s Box has been opened … I don’t know if by doing this you get to put everything back in the box”
if DOJ doesn't swear off the slush fund, a permanent injunction will issue
amazing pattern of DOJ continuing to lose badly in federal district court
https://storage.courtlistener.com/re...617.85.0_1.pdfand it is hereby

Specifically, defendants be and are ENJOINED from taking any action to create or operate the Anti-Weaponization Fund, including but not limited to transferring or causing to be transferred any money to the Anti-Weaponization Fund; processing any claim submitted to the Anti-Weaponization Fund; making any payment out of the Anti-Weaponization Fund; appointing any member to manage the Anti-Weaponization Fund; establishing any rules or procedures governing the Anti-Weaponization Fund; destroying any do ents relating to the Anti-Weaponization Fund, its creation, its procedures, or claims submitted to the Anti-Weaponization Fund; recons uting the Anti-Weaponization Fund under a different name; or taking any actions under the purported authority of the Anti-Weaponization Fund; and it is further

ICE swearing out fake affidavits against people who'd done nothing wrong besides piss officers off as been a pattern
This guy got beaten up and taken to a hospital, where he was chained to a bed and held incommunicado
Agents who did this should 100% be prosecuted and jailed
The probable cause statement filed by Agent Richard Berger states, among other things, that earlier on January 22 and prior to his arrest, Mr. Johnson “exited his vehicle, approached the vehicle driven by CBPOs with a baseball bat . . . [and] sprayed the passenger side of [an ICE] vehicle with . . . [OC spray].” ECF No. 1-1. None of this is true. Notably, Agent Berger has a do ented pattern of submitting false affidavits in the District of Minnesota, which in one case led Magistrate Judge Schultz to state that he had become “concerned with the veracity of [Agent Berger’s] affidavits” and with respect to one affidavit in particular, stating: “that’s a fake affidavit.” 2 See also Report and Recommendation, United States v. Adbebe, Case No. 26-mj-77, ECF No. 64 at 10-11, (filed June 3, 2026) (noting that video evidence directly contradicted statements contained in a sworn affidavit from Agent Berger).https://storage.courtlistener.com/re...30903.77.0.pdfAgents handcuffed Mr. Johnson, bundled him into an unmarked CBP vehicle and whisked him away as a gathering crowd hurled expletives at them. CBP ultimately drove Mr. Johnson to HCMC. There, they kept Mr. Johnson confined to his hospital room under armed guard. Agents photographed him in his hospital bed, clad in his gown, while he slept under the influence of painkillers. Incredibly given his serious injuries, agents kept Mr. Johnson shackled to his hospital bed for the entire five days he was at HCMC with the only break being when he went to PT appointments. Agents told Mr. Johnson he could not make any phone calls or contact family to inform them of his injuries or the fact that he was being held at HCMC. Agents did not make any attempt to locate or inform Mr. Johnson’s family of his detention at the hospital. Mr. Johnson’s wife knew that he had been violently arrested but had no idea where he was, whether he was injured, or if he was even alive.
