We continue our coverage of the fallout from the dropped federal case against the "Broadview 6," six people who attended a protest outside Chicago's Broadview ICE jail in September. They were later indicted for conspiracy to impede a federal agent, despite many not having met prior to appearing together in court. "I didn't find out that I had been indicted until a month after this happened," says Kat Abughazaleh, who was not arrested at the protest, but weeks later, as she was running for Congress. Michael Rabbitt, a Democratic ward committeeperson in Chicago, says that when he received a text informing him about a warrant for his arrest, "I actually thought it was a scam. I honestly didn't think it was real."
