Prairieland Trial: Anti-ICE Protesters Convicted on Terrorism Charges as DOJ Targets "Antifa Cell"

[Uncle Joe]

A jury in Texas has convicted eight people in the first federal anti-terror case since the Trump administration declared "antifa" a terror group. Nine defendants alleged to be members of an "antifa terror cell" stood trial on federal and state charges including rioting, using explosives and attempted murder. The charges stemmed from their attendance at an anti-ICE protest outside the Prairieland ICE jail on July 4, during which fireworks were set off and a police officer was shot and wounded. Eight protesters now face at least 15 years in jail. Their legal teams plan to appeal. "The antifa of it all, from my perspective, was purely political," says one of the defendants' attorneys, Xavier de Janon, who joins Democracy Now! to break down the case.

Tell me again how justice is blind. Also, how many Epstein pedophiles are on trial?

2. Nearly all...

... the Trump-appointed judges are just as irredeemably corrupt as he is. For Christ's sake, there are NO ANTIFA terror cells! Oh, and by the way, ANTIFA is short for "ANTI-FASCIST", you simple-minded skidmarks! And if you're against ANTIFA, you are, by definition, FOR fascism. Fascism is what your fathers and grandfathers fought WWII to eradicate. Those of the Greatest Generation are right to despise each and every one of you malignant fucks.
I hope there's a judge somewhere who'll rub that imbecile prosecutor's nose in his own bullshit.
