Content: Cook County Chief Judge Erica Reddick has said that today she will issue her decision about possibly appointing a special prosecutor to investigate and prosecute crimes committed by ICE and Border Patrol officers during "Operation Midway Blitz." Please pack the courtroom. Cook County States Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke's nine months of inaction in the face of the federal murder of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez and near-murder of Marimar Martinez demonstrate that our "justice system" will not operate for true justice unless pressured to do so by people's active engagement. While she has said that she will issue her decision at a 9:30 am court hearing, it is strongly advised that attendees arrive at least 45 minutes prior to that due to frequent long lines at courtroom security. You will be required to go through a metal detector and bags are not permitted. Cell phones may be checked at a counter just inside the courthouse's entrance.
Date/Time: May 21, 2026, 9:30 a.m.
Location: Cook County Criminal Courthouse, 2650 S. California Ave, Chicago
