Overview

• Federal prosecutors moved to dismiss cases against Ray Collins, Jocelyne Robledo and Hubert Mazur after Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian Havey told a judge the grand jury returned a no-bill.
• Collins and Robledo had been charged with assaulting and resisting officers during the Sept. 27 confrontation, and authorities said both were lawfully permitted to carry the loaded firearms found on them.
• Neither defendant faced gun charges or allegations of brandishing a weapon, according to the criminal complaints.
• U.S. Magistrate Judge Gabriel Fuentes initially ordered Collins detained, and U.S. District Judge Sunil Harjani later released him under conditions including surrendering his FOID and concealed-carry license and staying 500 feet from the facility.
• The protest where 11 people were taken into custody, including a journalist, featured agents using tear gas and baton rounds as demonstrations continued in response to DHS’s Operation Midway Blitz.
