Failed immigration cases leave Chicago prosecutor’s office reeling
“The @nytimes.com identified assault cases against 62 people that Mr. Boutros’s office brought … They have flopped at an extraordinary rate … Only one resulted in a guilty plea, and there have been no convictions in court. Two cases are pending.”
foolwatcher2025.bsky.social3We have no justice in America the justice etc depends on who is in charge right now it's. Liars, criminals, rapist , murders , evil fake Christians
Anchored Living1Mr Boutros is likely another who does not believe in forever (or genetic) memory. Every action. Every word. Every thought. Every intent of the heart. We are all forever. We remember everything.
kikime2.bsky.social1Amazing how hard it is to get competent lawyers who are willing to jeopardize their own careers by breaking the law.
Francis Fuselier1To be fair, it’s very, very hard to win when the facts and the law are not on your side.
They’re friggin’ strangling the DOJ Failed Immigration Cases Leave Chicago Prosecutor’s Office Reeling www.nytimes.com/2026/07/19/u...
lord-of-the-pyrs.bsky.social4Make sure to bring all those back who left so they can prosecute the assholes that decided they would try and subvert democracy.
librahf.bsky.social3Everything in this country is a total mess, people killed in the streets, inflation, a war for no reason, people being put in concentration camps, etc……..
Et Si C'etait La Fin?3the post-Trump era will not be kind to Mr. Boutros. Nor will, I suspect, Marion Correctional Center.
Basically an Honest Bobo in Paradise1Almost like promoting scofflaws is a plan
Wade1"The failed charges in the Chicago office represent more than a quarter of the 213 such cases nationwide that federal prosecutors have abandoned or lost since the start of President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration last year."
Prosecutors have fled the U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago, angry about the cases they’ve been told to bring against protesters and immigrants. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/19/u...
sentryog.bsky.social2Integrity, real Americans still have it.
The Good Witch1“NYT identified assault cases against 62 people that Boutros’s office brought under the once-obscure federal statute 18 U.S.C. 111. They have flopped at an extraordinary rate. 59 charges were abandoned or dismissed. Only 1 resulted in a guilty plea, and there have been no convictions in court.”
Resistance is persistence!1#30million8/30 Republicans are literally killing us in our streets. Project 2025 -- If we let them. If we do not assemble a massive march we will appear weak. 30 million marching on August 30th. You need to repost this. It requires all of us to participate. We are not weak and we are unafraid.
GUWonder1Trump can pardon them for federal crimes (if he cares and remembers), but Trump cannot save them from getting disbarred in the future. So these prosecutors have a choice: engage in wrongdoing on behalf of Trump and risk their career and career-related financial future, or do the right thing.
It's frustrating how some prosecutors are fighting ICE - the latest is Milwaukee - while Cook County State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke, who runs the second largest prosecutor's office in the US, continues to insist ICE piping p should face no consequences for murdering people in Chicago.
Stacie Rosenzweig1City Attorney Goyke is a law school classmate and friend. Most of what his office does isn't prosecution (and they only have jurisdiction over municipal infractions) but still, they're absolutely doing the right thing here, even knowing that'll make us more of a target.
James Endicott1To be fair, Chicago PD would simply ignore any such orders even if the mayor or governor told them to. Laws aren't a thing they obey even after some of them get punished. boltsmag.org/chicago-poli...
