 I think I heard about this case once before:

Video played by prosecutors shows Reid approaching the ICE officers while holding up her phone, which she says is for her protection. She is then later seen being held by multiple officers against a wall while she asks, “How do you feel about stealing f***ing people?”

“Mind your own business!” an unidentified ICE agent can be heard responding.

Ricardi said while officers were attempting to control her, Reid’s “flailing arm movements made contact” with the FBI agent. No injury is shown on the videos played in court, although prosecutors submitted photographs of the agent with small abrasions on the back of her hand, which Ricardi said did not appear to be present prior to the incident.

Eugene Ohm, an assistant federal public defender representing Reid, said prosecutors were presenting the court with nothing but “hearsay” from an investigator who wasn’t present. He asked Harvey to review the grand jury testimony himself before ruling on probable cause, although Harvey declined.

“We should be able to get to the bottom of why all the citizens of the District of Columbia seem to think there’s no crime while the government continues to allege one against my client,” Ohm said.

Because Reid is charged with a felony, under federal law, prosecutors must secure an indictment within 30 days of her arrest. That clock was paused temporarily until Thursday’s hearing, but is now running. Following a rejection by a grand jury, prosecutors can attempt again to seek an indictment as many times as they want with Pirro’s permission. Alternatively, they could charge Reid with a lower-level misdemeanor offense that does not require indictment.

The grand jury twice no-billed this case.  Pirro is also overseeing the Subway Sandwich case, which seems headed for the same fate.
