Federal prosecutors ask judge to drop charges against Paul Ivery for assaulting Border Patrol officer during Broadview ICE protest

Federal prosecutors are now asking a judge to drop charges against a man arrested during protests outside the Broadview Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.

Paul Ivery was charged with assaulting a Border Patrol officer last month.

Relatives say Ivery has intellectual disabilities. And a judge later released Ivery from jail , saying he does not pose a threat to the community.

There is a court hearing later Friday on the motion to dismiss charges.

Earlier this week, charges were dropped against three other people arrested during that same protest.
