Cory Ulmer, who was being held at the Cook County Jail last year, died shortly after correctional officers struck him several times and threw him to the ground, records have shown. Now, Ulmer’s stepfather, Robert Robinson, has filed a lawsuit alleging that the Cook County Sheriff, over a dozen correctional officers and the jail’s medical personnel were all complicit in Ulmer’s death. Ulmer, 41, was jailed last June for violating the terms of his pretrial release.

A Chicago judge ruled on Tuesday that a Mexican immigrant who was falsely accused of threatening to assassinate President Donald Trump can be released from a Wisconsin prison on bond. In federal immigration court, Judge Carla Espinoza said Ramon Morales Reyes did not pose a risk to the community. That contradicts a statement released by the Department of Homeland Security in late May, which accused Morales Reyes of authoring a letter that detailed a plot to shoot Trump.
