Prosecutors are dropping cases against protestors at higher rates than usual. The Trump administration had aggressively pursued these individuals, who were accused of assaulting or impeding law enforcement. The Department of Justice charged hundreds with assaulting officers, but many of these cases were dropped.

Despite the charges being dropped, the damage had already been done to those affected. Further details on this matter are available from the Waco Tribune-Herald, which reported on the Trump administration's pursuit of protestors and the subsequent dropping of cases.
