- Chicago US attorney defends his meddling with grand jury process over immigration protest case
The U.S. Attorney in Chicago, Andrew Boutros, admitted to personally addressing a grand jury before indicting immigration protesters in 2019, a move criticized as unusual. The case against the protesters was later dismissed due to misconduct by an assistant U.S. attorney, and defense lawyers argue Boutros' involvement compromised the grand jury process.
