Episode Synopsis

Chicago-area protests over immigration enforcement have quieted some in recent weeks.

But many people who were caught up in them are still dealing with criminal cases.

One protester was charged with assaulting Gregory Bovino.

He’s a U.S. Border Patrol chief who led the Trump administration’s deportation blitz here.

Prosecutors eventually dropped the charges — after a video undermined Bovino’s accusations.
