“A grand jury declined for a third time to indict a D.C. woman accused of assaulting an FBI agent during an [abductee] swap with ICE – a rare loss for federal prosecutors that could foreshadow further trouble if the case goes to trial. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office said in a filing Monday it would move ahead with charging Sidney Lori Reid with a misdemeanor for the alleged assault outside the D.C. Jail in July. A magistrate judge had given prosecutors until Monday afternoon to secure an indictment against Reid or see the felony version of the assault charge dismissed. … Reid was [abducted] in July for allegedly resisting attempts to restrain her after she refused to back away from ICE officers who were conducting [abductions] outside the D.C. Jail. In the process, they said, an FBI agent received scrapes to the back of her hand.” (08/25/25)
