The Champaign County State's Attorney Julia Rietz is a Democrat. The draconian approach she’s taking is similar to that outlined in the right-wing Heritage Foundation’s Project Esther.

It would be interesting to know if her political campaigns have received funding from the pro-Israel lobby.

uiuc asked the champaign county state’s attorney to charge four pro-palestine students with felony mob charges, one of them being a palestinian student.

uiuc has a history of pro-apartheid investments and support.

truthout.org/articles/ill...

Illinois student organizers, led in part by the group IUC Students for Justice in Palestine, attempted to meet with university officials, such as Chancellor Robert Jones (who announced his decision to resign from the university just last week). The students tried to engage with administration over the course of several months, but meaningful negotiations never materialized. Students held demonstrations on campus and remained steadfast in their commitment to the encampment absent cooperation from the school. Citing violations of its student handbook policies relating to tents and signs on its quad, the university ushered in scores of police officers, spanning five different counties in central Illinois (and requiring over $137,000 in overtime). According to faculty eyewitnesses, students were encircled and threatened with arrest and misdemeanor charges if they failed to cease their demonstrations. The students eventually voluntarily disassembled the encampment. Two individuals were arrested, but neither were students. The issue appeared to be closed.

But it wasn't closed. Over the summer months, UIUC police and Champaign County State's Attorney Julia Rietz joined forces to send a clear and heavy-handed message about how they intend to handle pro-Palestinian student speech going forward. Rietz - who has been on the faculty of UIUC's law school since 2009 - began issuing summonses starting in July 2024, to students who are alleged to have participated in the encampment. A great deal of effort and resources seemingly went into targeting these students: University police utilized surveillance technology, including the use of license plate readers, as well as students' social media posts and body camera footage. And the resulting summonses were not for misdemeanors - they contained mandates to appear in court for Class Four felony mob action charges, which carry up to three years in prison. Several students were charged, including one Palestinian student.

The university's participation in prosecuting its own students for having the courage to publicly denounce genocide is disturbing, but not surprising. The university has a history of supporting a pro-apartheid position. In 1986, after students bravely protested their campus's investment in apartheid South Africa, the university ultimately was forced to divest millions. More recently, in 2013, the University hired renowned professor Steven Salaita, only to rescind his employment offer after reading his tweets denouncing the murderous acts of the Israeli apartheid state. In July and August of 2014, Israel murdered over 2,200 Palestinians, an assault to which Salaita rightly took great exception. After the school rescinded his employment offer, Salaita sued UIUC and earned a settlement award of over $800,000. Embarrassingly, UIUC also earned a formal censure from the American Association of University Professors for failure to adhere to principles of academic freedom.
