Kat Abughazaleh (@katmabu.bsky.social) has just been indicted by the DOJ over participation in protests against ICE at its Broadview facility in Illinois. This is a brazen weaponization of the DOJ to target political opponents with bogus charges.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

The police chief says they're investigating whether "human trafficking" was taking place, but they charged one of the alleged sex workers with a crime even though she presumably would be a victim if this was a human trafficking case.
