Trump administration loses lawsuit against man accused of plot to murder Greg Bovino | Trump administration | The Guardian

In a significant legal setback, Juan Espinoza Martinez, 37, was acquitted on Thursday of offering a $10,000 bounty for the murder of CBP chief Gregory Bovino. The Department of Justice's case against Martinez, who was accused of sending a Snapchat message offering the reward, collapsed as the jury found his actions to be mere neighborhood gossip rather than a serious threat. This verdict adds to a series of failed prosecutions related to the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration in the Chicago area.
