May Day protest: Attendees display signs against Trump’s policies
By EARLEEN HINTON ehinton@shawmedia.com
OREGON – A plea for due process was among messages displayed on signs held by about 150 people May 1 as they stood along two sidewalks bordering the historic Ogle County Courthouse in a May Day rally to protest actions by President Donald Trump.
People carried signs critical of Trump’s policies and executive orders as they lined the north and east sidewalks of the courthouse square in downtown Oregon.
The two-hour event was the third organized by Indivisible of Ogle County, the local chapter of the Indivisible Project network, a grassroots organization founded in 2016.
Two previous Hands Off rallies –one April 5 and the other April 19 –drew an estimated 400 and 250 attendees, respectively. Both of those events, which took place on Saturday afternoons, were organized by Jan Buttron of Chana and Mae Furman of Rochelle.
Thursday’s event was from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Attendees at Thursday’s event held homemade signs criticizing Trump’s policies and recent executive orders on immigration and the elimination of programs and agencies that he has said are meant to reduce government waste.
Some of the signs read “Due Process
sparked outcry from many Trump opponents.
Buttron said the signs reflect the concerns and outrage many have over Trump’s recent actions.
“I think all the various signs tell our position clearly. We’re all out here defending our constitutional republic, our representative democracy, from the dismantling of our government services and programs, vital departments, executive overreach and the data mining of our personal information,” Buttron said.
Motorists who traveled through the busy intersection of state Routes 64 and 2 in the city’s downtown were encouraged to honk their horns in support.
One large pickup truck buzzed by the rally twice, revving its engine as a passenger unfurled a Trump flag from the window.
Another rally is planned for June 14, Buttron said.
for Everyone;” “Veteran for the Constitution;” “No One Wants a King;” “Save Democracy;” “Pro American, Anti Trump;” “Educated People Scare Trump;” “Hands Off Our Rights;” “Trump’s Economic Plan: Blame Biden;” and “MayDay Due Process is OverDue!”
The due process clause of the Fifth and 14th amendments of the U.S. Constitution was written to prevent state
governments from depriving anyone of “life, liberty or property” without the due process of law, meaning certain procedures must be followed before officials can take actions that would affect those fundamental rights.
The Trump administration’s recent deportation of individuals, some to prisons in El Salvador, without allowing due process in the courts has
Before the first rally, Buttron met with officials from the Ogle County Sheriff’s Office, the Oregon Police Department, the Oregon Fire Protection District and the city of Oregon. She said those officials told her that rally attendees should stay off the grass and remain on the sidewalks.
The Oregon rally was one of several May 1 rallies that drew hundreds of thousands across the world and in the U.S.
These signs were critical of the Trump administration’s deportation policies on May 1 during the May Day Rally in Oregon.

OREGON – A Rochelle man charged with indecent solicitation of a child and violating the Sex Offender Registration Act has been found unfit to stand trial after a mental health evaluation.
Timothy J. O’Dell, 28, of Rochelle was remanded to the Ogle County Jail after the decision by Judge Anthony Peska on April 24.
O’Dell was arrested by Rochelle police after the department was contacted March 6 about a man trying to meet with a minor for sex in Rochelle.
Odell was arrested after an investigation by the Rochelle Police Department Patrol Division.
During a March 12 hearing, O’Dell’s attorney requested that his client be evaluated by Jayne Braden, a forensic and clinical psychologist in Sycamore.
Ogle County Assistant Public Defender Michael
O’Brien said he had a “bona fide doubt” as to O’Dell’s ability to help with his defense and asked Peska for the court-appointed evaluation.
During the April 24 hearing, O’Dell appeared in court with Chief Public Defender Kathleen Isley, who asked
• SWANLUND
Continued from page 5
Voss argued that Swanlund was found “walking away with blood on his shoes” and was a “real and present threat to the community and those around him.”
Voss also said Swanlund had broken Illinois law by not registering the handgun. Swanlund is charged with a misdemeanor for that offense.
“The defendant has already shown he does not follow orders,” Voss said.
Peska said Swanlund’s lack of crimi-
Peska to declare O’Dell unfit based on the results of the evaluation.
Assistant State’s Attorney Matthew Leisten agreed with the evaluation. Peska found O’Dell unfit for trial and entered an order for treatment to be forwarded to the Ogle County sheriff.
O’Dell, who had a pending charge of violating the Sex Offender Registration Act in Ogle County, was sentenced in 2023 to probation for the same offense.
The Ogle County State’s Attorney’s Office filed three felony charges against O’Dell on March 7: one count of violating the Sex Offender Registration Act and two counts of indecent solicitation of a child.
According to court documents, O’Dell failed to report to the Rochelle Police Department “any instant messaging
nal history did not lessen the risk of releasing him from custody, saying he demonstrated “hostility and aggression” by “belly bumping” Pasley’s mother and then leaving the apartment after the shooting. Peska said there weren’t any conditions he could impose to protect the safety of others.
identities, any internet communication identities” that he uses or planned to use, or other internet sites “to which he has uploaded any content or posted any messages or information.”
In the solicitation charges, he is accused of intending to commit aggravated criminal sexual abuse when he “knowingly solicited one whom he believed to be a child to perform an act of sexual penetration or sexual conduct,” discussing the meeting on the internet.
In October, Judge John Redington, who is now retired, found O’Dell fit to stand trial on a previous charge of violating the terms of his probation sentence when he allegedly failed to register as a sex offender with the Rochelle Police Department. That case still is pending.
Pasley was a 2018 graduate of Oregon High School and a full-time custodian at the Blackhawk Center, where the school’s PE classes are held.
Finch Funeral Home & Crematory in Mt. Morris handled Pasley’s arrangements. His obituary can be viewed on its website.

Oregon man charged with arson to undergo mental health evaluation
No one injured in May 1 house fire
By EARLEEN HINTON ehinton@shawmedia.com
OREGON – A 23-year-old man accused of setting an Oregon home on fire May 1 will be evaluated by a court-appointed psychologist to determine if he is fit to stand trial.
Matthew L. Thoreson was charged May 2 with aggravated arson, a Class X felony, after a May 1 house fire at 805 S. Eighth St., Oregon.
According to court documents, Thoreson “knowingly damaged” the home when he set a fire while one or more people were inside.
Thoreson also is charged with residential arson, a Class 1 felony. He is accused of using fire to commit the arson in the home where an Oregon woman lived.
Thoreson has been held in the Ogle County Jail since his arrest. He appeared in court Monday, May 5, with his attorney Assistant Public Defender Eric Morrow for an arraignment.
Morrow asked Judge Russell Crull to approve a motion to have Thoreson evaluated by Jayne Braden, a forensic and clinical psychologist in Sycamore.
Morrow said he did not believe Thoreson has the ability to help with his defense and asked Crull for the court-appointed evaluation.
Morrow said he had spoken with Thoreson and had made his decision to seek the evaluation based on his client’s “statements and behaviors.”
In his motion, Morrow said he had a “bona fide doubt” as to Thoreson’s “fitness to stand trial or to plead” due to his “mental condition.”
“I would ask the court not to conduct a detention hearing today,” Morrow said.
Assistant State’s Attorney Matthew Leisten did not object to the continuance.
“I believe this is the right approach,” Leisten said.
During detention hearings, a judge determines whether to release a defen-
dant from custody as the case proceeds through the court system. Criteria used by judges to make that decision include the nature of the alleged offenses, whether the defendant’s release would pose a “clear and present danger” to the community or certain individuals and whether the defendant is considered to be a “flight risk” and likely will not appear again for scheduled court cases.
Morrow said the evaluation – paid for by Ogle County – would help the court decide Thoreson’s fitness to face the charges before any further proceedings are held.
Crull agreed and continued Thoreson’s detention while the evaluation is conducted. He estimated the evaluation could take 30 days and set Thoreson’s next court date for 1:30 p.m. June 23.
If the completed report is received sooner, an earlier court date could be set, Crull told Morrow and Leisten.
Class X felonies are punishable by six to 30 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections followed by 18 months of mandatory supervised release. Those convicted must serve 85% of the sentence and register as an arsonist.
The Class 1 felony charge is punish-
able by four to 15 years in prison, 12 months mandatory supervised release and arson registration.
Fire crews reported to the house fire at 12:24 p.m. The fire was extinguished at 12:36 p.m., Oregon Fire Chief Michael Knoup said.
The fire started in the basement on wooden shelves, Knoup said.
“The two occupants of the house were able to escape and exit the home prior to our arrival,” Knoup said. “We did rescue one dog and two cats from the residence. Everyone was OK.”
Knoup said other occupants of the home told firefighters the fire may have been set intentionally by a third occupant who already had left the scene.
“With that information, I investigated the origin of fire and found its location,” Knoup said. “At that time I ruled it possible arson and requested the Office of the State Fire Marshal to investigate. After their investigation was complete, they pursued the filing of charges of aggravated arson.”
Knoup emphasized the importance of having working smoke detectors and said the Oregon Fire District offers free smoke detector testing.
Feedback sought May 13 in Byron on regional transportation plans
ROCKFORD – Byron will host one of the open houses offered by the Region 1 Planning Council to get public feedback on three of the principal transportation planning documents.
The open houses are designed to seek feedback on the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, Transportation Improvement Plan and Human Services Transportation Plan.
The Ogle County open house is from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 13, at Byron City Hall, 232 W. Second St., Byron.
Members of the public can view the plans and give feedback through Engage R1, R1’s online public engagement page at the following links:
“Public input is essential to building a transportation system that truly reflects the needs and priorities of our community,” said Tim Verbeke, R1 Transportation principal. “Whether it’s long-range planning through the MTP, near-term projects in the TIP or improving access and mobility through the HSTP, every voice matters. The open house is an opportunity for residents to learn, ask questions and directly shape the future of transportation in our region.”
Participants will be able to speak with planners about plan details, ask questions, review full plan drafts and leave comments to be considered for incorporation in each plan’s final draft. The plans are required by the U.S. Department of Transportation to allocate funding for major metropolitan areas.
Public engagement has been consolidated to make more efficient use of the public’s time.
