Abughazaleh, 26, is a progressive candidate who is one of more than a dozen seeking the Democratic Party's nomination for the 2026 election to represent Illinois' Ninth Congressional District that is located north of Chicago.
A federal grand jury in the U.S. District Court of Northern Illinois indicted her and five others on Thursday for impeding an ICE vehicle and agent outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Ill.
