NO! A JUDGE DID *NOT* ORDER ADELITA GRIJALVA TO BE SWORN IN! YET.

I've seen a lot of posts flying around about how a Federal judge supposedly ordered House Speaker Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva. That is pure fiction.

From the Rev. David Black about being attacked by ICE at Broadview. "In rapid fire, I was hit seven times on my arms, face and torso with exploding pellets that contained some kind of chemical agent. It was clear to me that the officers were aiming for my head, which they struck twice."
