Judge tosses lawsuit likening pro-Gaza expressway shutdown near O’Hare to ‘false imprisonment’ – Chicago Sun-Times

But to state claim for false imprisonment, the confinement must be ‘involuntary;’ it is not enough for a plaintiff to voluntarily remain in a place even if they believe they are justified in doing so.”
