A federal judge has dismissed all remaining charges against remaining members of the so-called “Broadview Six.”
U.S. District Judge April Perry, who had previously dismissed felony charges in the case early this month, dismissed the remaining misdemeanor charges on Thursday, putting to an end one of the biggest cases to come out of “Operation: Midway Blitz,” the immigration enforcement surge that targeted Chicago and its suburbs last fall.
Former Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh and Andre Martin, a member of her staff, had been among the four defendants still facing charges in the case, which stemmed from an incident during protests outside of the Broadview ICE facility on Sept. 26, 2025.
Those two, along with 45th Ward Democratic Committeeperson Michael Rabbitt and Oak Park Trustee Brian Shaw, had still faced misdemeanor charges in the case, accused of surrounding an ICE agent’s vehicle outside of the Broadview facility. They were then accused of pushing it and causing damage.
They had faced up to a year in prison on charges of forcibly impeding a federal agent, but those charges have been dismissed with prejudice, meaning they cannot be refiled.
A trial date had been set for May 26, but prosecutors had been pressed to hand over unredacted grand jury transcripts multiple times, including when Perry dismissed felony charges earlier this month.
A Thursday court hearing had pertained to the transcripts, and after the closed hearing, Perry announced the remaining charges had been dismissed.
Federal prosecutors had defended their actions during the case, with the defendants accusing the government of pursuing a politically-motivated prosecution.
