Circling back for one more observation about the deal reached Monday in this Operation Midway Blitz case:

In most deferred-prosecution agreements I've seen in Chicago, the defendant admits to certain conduct — even if there's no conviction in the end.

Nothing like that here.
Operation Midway Blitz defendant Jamie Hernandez has entered into what's known as a deferred-prosecution agreement with the Chicago feds.

If Hernandez abides by certain conditions for 6 months, the feds will seek dismissal of the charges. So still no conviction here.

Expect to see more of this.

The feds say the release of a Border Patrol agent's texts could "sully" his reputation.

But a judge says they're fair game, partly because Homeland Security has shown "zero concern" for the rep of Chicago's Marimar Martinez.

Marimar Martinez's attorneys also take on claims that it would "sully" Border Patrol agent Charles Exum to release his text messages.
