JUST IN: Statement from Catherine "Cat" Sharp and Joselyn Walsh after prosecutors dropped conspiracy charges against them:
Broadview 4? Feds drop conspiracy charges against two ICE protesters, including Democrat who ended her campaign for Cook County Board NEW from @Suntimes: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/20…
Furthermore, it remains clear that none of the defendants in this case should have been charged. I am confident that all six of us will be vindicated. (2/2)
This motion to dismiss proves what we have always known–that the indictment in this case was flawed from the outset. While I am of course elated at this outcome, ICE’s abuse of immigrants and refugees in our communities continues. (1/2)
///BREAKING/// Federal prosecutors in Chicago have moved to drop charges against two of the "Broadview Six" protesters -- Catherine Sharp and Joselyn Walsh -- accused of conspiring to damage an ICE agent's vehicle last fall.
'A decision I needed to make': Cook County Board candidate suspends campaign to fight Midway Blitz indictment From @Suntimes: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/20…
An important update from Team Cat:
Whether you’re w/ family, working a shift, spending time w/ friends, or finding quiet in your own way, I’m wishing you peace & joy this holiday season. May this Christmas remind us to look out for one another & keep building a community where everyone feels welcome & cared for.

I’m grateful to be in this fight alongside such a committed activist as Maggie. I look forward to continuing to work together for a more just and equitable Cook County.
My heart is with everyone in Sydney, and Jewish people worldwide, after today's horrific antisemitic attack. No one should have to fear for their life while celebrating a religious holiday. We all deserve to mark moments of joy without hatred and without fear.
As the sunset approaches, Team Cat would like to wish everyone a joyous start to Hanukkah. Chag Sameach!
I'm honored to receive an endorsement and support from the legendary David Orr! David's lifetime of public service is an inspiring example of what good governance in leadership can look like.
I’m fighting back against these ludicrous charges that are meant to scare people out of speaking out against this administration’s inhumane treatment of immigrants. I won’t shut up, and neither should you. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/20…
Excited to see this program continue! It’s helping thousands of families find financial security and allows families to put this money towards housing, healthcare, groceries or transportation without having to jump through hoops.
For the first time a U.S. county is making their guaranteed income program permanent. The Cook County Board of Commissioners has unanimously approved $7.5 million to continue its guaranteed income program. Each month over 3,000 households will get an unconditional $500.
After pleading not guilty in the Broadview, IL protest conspiracy case, Cook County commissioner candidate @CatSharpforcook says the charges against her will not silence her. "I personally have had to look through abandoned vehicles in my neighborhood to identify those abducted by ICE, only to find out some are single parents whose young children are now alone. At Broadview, detainees are denied access to attorneys, food, and showers, and are forced to sleep in crowded rooms on concrete floors next to overflowing toilets. We are seeing the Trump administration violate our human rights." "These criminal charges will not silence us from speaking out against this injustice. Our neighbors, our city and our country cannot afford our silence. Today and always, we stand together."
I’m so grateful to everyone who showed up today at our first court date in our fight for justice. Knowing I have all of you standing by my side gives me energy and hope. I know we will prevail!
I’m heading to court today for my arraignment on ludicrous charges brought against the #Broadview6 related to our protesting of conditions at the Broadview ICE processing facility. Join us at 12:30 at Federal Plaza to stand up for our right to speak out!
This isn’t complicated. Cutting funding for libraries is a ridiculous and counterproductive way to try to balance the City budget. I stand with our @afscme31 librarians.
The proposed city of Chicago budget would mean fewer staff, fewer books and fewer resources in our libraries. We can’t accept cuts to the programs and services Chicagoans rely on. City Council members must vote for the revenue needed to balance the budget without harmful cuts.
I’m so grateful to all these officials for standing with us. #Broadview6
Nearly 130 Illinois officials, including Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, signed onto a letter condemning a recent federal indictment charging six people who protested outside of the Broadview ICE facility. trib.al/DcALrhq
