Attorneys and advocacy groups say federal agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Department of Homeland Security violated state law during their immigration crackdown across the Chicago area.

They argue those agents have not been properly investigated by the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.

Now, they're asking for a special prosecutor.

Judge Erica Reddick heard arguments last month and is expected to issue a ruling Monday.
