A progressive Democratic candidate may be headed to the slammer before she even gets a chance at going to Congress.
Kat Abughazaleh, a former Media Matters journalist running to represent Illinois’ 9th District in the House of Representatives, was charged by the Department of Justice for allegedly assaulting an ICE officer.
She is charged with two counts of conspiracy to impede or injure an ICE officer, along with assaulting or impeding that officer while he was on duty.

Political persecution, she says. Free PR, bu spelling her name right will be a challenge
She the skinny older woman in jeans that was tossed by ICE. Great video btw
Wasn’t body slammed. She was tossed onto the street on her butt.
But I bet she felt super cool while she was standing up to The Man.
Good. Do it.
Pronto.
“outside Broadview ICE detention center in Chicago.”
NOT A CHANCE IN HELL she sees ANY punishment!!!
Sara Ellis. Canadian born. JD degree from Chicago. Appointed by Barry Soetero. Just ordered the head of the regional ICE to appear DAILY to personally report all ICE activity in Chicago.
The Appeals Court blocked her order today, pending review.
I hope they ream her.
What is their rationale directing a fed employee, not charged with anything, to report. Someone needs a mag dump.
Again , No One is Above The Law……
What also happened to No Kings…
Again , No One is Above The Law
I can fix her. I can at least try.

Proper garden tool.
Her name looks like it says “a bug has Allah”.
