A federal judge on Thursday dismissed federal charges against a woman shot by a Customs and Border Protection agent in Chicago after allegedly ramming into his car.
The ruling from US District Judge Georgia Alexakis came hours after prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss the charges in a striking reversal by the US government, court documents show.

This is what happens when LEO can’t keep his reap shut till after the trial and verdict.
Prosecutor drops case because Stupid gave the defense ammo.
I hope his supervisor reams him.
Trap shut.

Referencing the messages, Parente said, “He’s going to pay for those shots, and he’s not going to be as proud and as arrogant as he was when he testified in this courthouse a few weeks ago.”
In any case, it was not wise for the federal agent to send out those text messages...
The charges should include attempted vehicular homicide. These crazy people and the judges will get somebody killed, and the judge will still get a pension. Should be in a mental unstitution.
Greenlighting more violence on ICE.
“Tom
Greenlighting more violence on ICE.”

These are NOT JUDGES
This tells me that the judge is out of touch with reality. He probably has never worked a day in his life and getting obese on a continuous diet of rib-eye steaks and lobster dipped in butter.
TexasGnat, can you go a day without a stupid comment?
Lesson: multiple bullets in every person you arrest.
