Today, sandwich guy was unanimously acquitted by the jury in D.C. Judge Ellis has issued a preliminary injunction against ICE and Customs and Border Protection in Chicago, finding the government's version of events isn't credible than that Greg Bovina lied.

The Border Patrol agent in Chicago who shot Mar-A-Mar-Mar-Martinez is caught bragging about it
