It wasn’t just “mocking a public official.” The twitter account originally pretended to be the actual mayor.

Correct. But that is not a crime in Illinois! And the mayor and especially the judge had to have known that. So why then was there a raid? The mayor was angry that he was being mocked. No other reason.

It's stuff like this that makes me appreciate having a powerful ACLU.
