The Broadview Six are protestors who were assaulted by ICE in Chicago, arrested and charged. It turns out that Federal Prosecutors contacted the Grand Jury members outside of the courtroom, so the judge threw out the case! The Sun-Times and WBEZ:

“#ChicagoIL U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros may have had personal contact with grand jurors in the prosecution against the group of Operation Midway Blitz protesters known as the “Broadview Six,” a defense attorney told a judge today.
“U.S. District Judge April Perry summoned lawyers into her chambers to discuss the question out of earshot from the public, my colleague Jon Seidel reports for the Chicago Sun-Times. Assistant U.S. Attorney Diane MacArthur said it should be discussed privately because it involved grand jury proceedings.
“The case fell apart, days before trial, after Perry discovered improprieties during grand jury proceedings. The alleged misconduct came to light only after a lengthy push by defense attorneys to get Perry to review unredacted transcripts of what occurred.
“It included a prosecutor improperly putting her personal credibility on the line to support criminal charges, a prosecutor having substantive contact with grand jurors outside the grand jury room and a prosecutor excusing grand #jurors who disagreed with the case”. [Chicago Sun-Times]
