And grand juries are famously easy to persuade, as this is just the prosecutor and whatever evidence they choose to present, there's no defence lawyer involved. The case is either ridiculously thin, or the prosecutor just doesn't know how to do their job.
I was on a grand jury and yeah, it's basically prosecutor/cop saying "they did crime" and as a member of the jury it's your job to decide "is maybe possibly a crime did" so really you have zero information as to what happened, just a "trust me bro". So the fact that this got shut down AT ALL is screaming Incompetent prosecutor, very competent prosecutor who knows its horseshit, thinnest case to ever be cased, or (incredibly unlikely) a grand jury who knows their shit.
Since grand juries are also usually local, it's also possible that they've pissed off enough people around DC that any case involving ICE won't go through.
Honestly, this is so rare it makes me wonder if the prosecutor really wants to indict the woman. We have seen prosecutors using grand juries to not indict (cops) without accepting responsibility for it before. May be a prosecutor with some morals but under great pressure to support ICE.
Of course also possible that people can finally see through what is happening and are not buying the BS.
Or both!
Not improbable, true.
