About this episode

The episode features a discussion with Kat Abughazaleh and Michael Rabbitt about their indictment for protesting outside the Broadview ICE jail and the misconduct revealed during their court proceedings.

Part 2 of our conversation with Kat Abughazaleh and Michael Rabbitt. They were indicted for protesting last year outside the Broadview ICE jail during Trump’s so-called Operation Midway Blitz crackdown. During a recent court hearing, the U.S. Attorney’s Office admitted federal prosecutors committed misconduct during the grand jury proceedings and, in a stunning move, the U.S. Attorney’s Office dismissed the charges against the four who had been indicted.
