The Department of Justice has transformed into a political institution that is currently directed by President Trump, according to Attorney Chris Gair.

Exercising my First Amendment right to tell ICE agents what I think. Fun fact: Trump cannot pardon anyone for state law crimes. #RobHeld #Trump #ICE #freespeech #Broadview #chicagoprotest #arrestICE #prosecuteICE #ruleoflaw #raiseyourvoice #chicagoiswatching #migrawatch #DHS #humanrights

If the Midterms bring the Blue Wave 🌊 people are anticipating, Mike Johnson may refuse to seat the newly elected representatives. We will be looking to @flareusa.bsky.social for leadership with their plans to bring the country to its knees and force the peaceful transfer of power.

I just spoke with Major Jason Watson a true patriot who is currently suffering the consequences of speaking up for our democracy. We must all do our part to get our country back. We can start by voting to dismantle the current regime. #RobHeld #Trump #impeachconvictremove #democracy #MAGA

Trump is selling presidential pardons to the highest bidder. Is it a coincidence that a billionaire seeking a pardon just so happens to hire someone in Trump's inner circle for $50 million right before he gets his pardon? 🤔 #RobHeld #Trump #MAGA #corruption #oligarchy #billionaires #pardon

If Trump attempts to steal the midterm election (and it seems the fix already is in), the rest of us will need to mobilize.

I currently have a lawsuit pending against one police officer, but a recent run-in I had goes to show that you can't always paint with a broad brush. Thank you to the Bridgeview police officer for his deescalation tactics that likely saved me from being injured. #RobHeld #chicagoprotest #ruleoflaw

1,000 armed private security guards have been deployed to postal facilities nationwide right before the midterms.

Several fellow protesters wanted to beat me up for filming at the Jake Lang counter protest in Bridgeview, IL on October 4. A local policeman who recognized me actually came to my aid. #RobHeld #freespeech #chicagoprotest #palestinefest #raiseyourvoice #donlemon #robertheld #lawyers

I'm suing Broadview and the officer who arrested me because I was wrongfully arrested. Protest is protected under the First Amendment, and police can't make an arrest just to silence it. I never touched the officer they said I battered. They knew they had no case, but they dragged it out.

At prosecutor Jack Smith's senate hearing, Eric Schmitt accused him of lying about where he's been. But the senator had his facts wrong, and Cory Booker had heard enough. #RobHeld #CoryBooker #MAGA #republicans #jacksmith #donlemon #raiseyourvoice #robertheld #lawyers #KatiePhang #ViralVideo

I was out in Bridgeview yesterday opposing criminal agitator Jake Lang and his thugs who were hurling rocks at the crowd. One boy was hit in the head and is reported to have suffered a concussion, and as needing four staples. 10/04/26 #RobHeld #chicagoiswatching #MAGA #chicagoprotest #freespeech

Save the date for the next No Kings on October 17! It is time to unite against election sabotage and power the largest early vote turnout our country has ever seen. #RobHeld #NoKings #VoteEarly #election #chicagoiswatching

The Justice Department is going to see sanctions and consequences for their criminal tampering in the Broadview Six case! We all know there was no crime by the protesters and the ICE agents were the aggressors. Now Judge April Perry is demanding they turn over evidence for investigation. #RobHeld

CCL recently participated in the 2026 Election Protection Festival & spoke with community members about the importance of judges and the Cook County judicial process. With early voting beginning today in Downtown Chicago, now is the time to get informed. chicagocouncil.org/ccl-particip...

ICE is full of overly aggressive men. Watch this protester describe being shoved by an armed man who towered over her. There is no excuse. ICE agents need consequences for criminal behavior. #RobHeld #ICE #Broadview #chicagoprotest #freespeech #arrestICE #ICEAssault #prosecuteICE #chicagoprotest

Chicago Council of Lawyers President Rob Held warned ICE agents and federal officials that they must uphold the law. He spoke at a press conference about the civil lawsuit he filed a lawsuit against Adam Saracco, the ICE agent who recently pleaded guilty to battery for his attack against Held.

The MAGA government has made Donald Trump billions, but for the rest of us, things haven't gotten "greater." 60% of Americans think the economy is "unfair" and they're right - it's rigged! #RobHeld #Trump #MAGA #billionaires #election #resist #raiseyourvoice #robertheld #lawyers #viralvideo

ICE agents are brutalizing citizens without consequences. The two that chased me Saturday while I was protesting have both been involved in recent assaults - one resulted in a man being bloodied and taken to the hospital. I am demanding accountability and transparency! Join me by FOLLOWING!

The Mayor of Broadview didn't want to lose another lawsuit, so she quietly removed the "protest zone" outside the Broadview ICE Facility after I filed my lawsuit. She's since taken to social media to pretend there never were any restrictions in the first place, but you can't rewrite history.
