DOJ Indicts Illinois Congressional Candidate Kat Abughazaleh Over ICE Protests
HuffPost
Kat Abughazaleh and five others were indicted for allegedly blocking the vehicle of an agent who was "forced to drive at an extremely slow rate of speed."
A former journalist and current Democratic congressional candidate in Illinois was indicted last week, along with five others, over protests they attended against immigration officials.
Kat Abughazaleh, the 26-year-old congressional candidate, and other protesters were indicted Oct. 23 by a special federal grand jury, and are accused of blocking vehicles outside of a federal immigration processing facility in Broadview last month.
The indictment accuses Abughazaleh and the other defendants ― Andre Martin, Michael Rabbitt, Catherine Sharp, Brian Straw and Joselyn Walsh ― of conspiring with one another when they “physically hindered and impeded” the vehicle of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent during a Sept. 26 protest outside of the processing facility.
The agent was “forced to drive at an extremely slow rate of speed to avoid injuring any of the conspirators,” the indictment said.
Martin, one of the defendants, works on Abughazaleh’s campaign as a field director.
