Community activists, including Ja’Mal Green and William Calloway, who were arrested inside the Dirksen Federal Building last week were ordered to stay away from the federal courthouse for 60 days and pay a $200 fine for their part in a protest demanding federal charges against former Chicago cop Jason Van Dyke.
The arrested protesters, who are calling themselves the “Laquan Nine” were at the federal courthouse to deliver a letter to U.S. Attorney John Lausch demanding he file federal charges against the disgraced officer who was released from prison last week after serving a little more than three years for killing 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.
