Matt Masterson
The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
The "Broadview Six" defendants, including former congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, are seeking to recoup legal expenses after federal prosecutors dropped all charges in a controversial case. Defense attorneys filed a motion for sanctions following Chicago's U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros' announcement dismissing the case. The motion aims to recover attorneys' fees for the now-former defendants, who were accused in connection with protests at the Broadview ICE facility.
