Biography
Catherine Sharp was prosecuted over an anti-ICE protest at Broadview in September 2025. The case ended without conviction.
The January 14–20, 2026 News-Star identifies Catherine Sharp as Cat Sharp, age 29, and reports that she suspended her congressional campaign while facing an October federal indictment arising from the September 26, 2025 Broadview immigration-enforcement protest. The report describes prosecution allegations, rather than a conviction. Its September-arrest chronology differs from the case dates held here; it supplies no complete jail interval and does not supersede the separately recorded later dismissal.
