The Trump administration is prosecuting Illinois congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh and five others for allegedly assaulting an immigration agent during protests over deportation raids.
A grand jury in Illinois indicted Abughazaleh, a content creator running to succeed Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky, on Wednesday.
The indictment alleges that Abughazaleh and five other protesters “conspired with one another and others, known and unknown, to prevent by force, intimidation, and threat … a United States law enforcement officer, from discharging the duties of his office.”
