Some cases were dismissed after prosecutors reevaluated the proof, while others were halted amid claims of mistreatment during custody — including shackling and denied phone access. A federal judge has also questioned the credibility of affidavits from a special agent, noting he sometimes described events he didn’t witness firsthand. Meanwhile, prosecutors have announced new charges against fifteen others for allegedly conspiring to oppose immigration enforcement — though they won’t disclose specific injuries to agents, pointing instead to the indictments and upcoming evidence.
