    Twice in two days that they’ve failed to get a grand jury to indict on charges related to ICE retaliation.

    That seems kind of unheard of, and maybe good news… However, I figure they’ll just start skipping the due process altogether like they do with accused undocumented individuals.

      Grand juries still come from the county where the charge was filed. I can’t imagine anyone living in DC right now is thrilled with how the feds are conducting themselves. Must be very difficult to find a jury pool willing to play along.
