"Some in the Trump administration may now regret calling Renée Good and Alex Pretti “domestic terrorists.” The hasty application of this label by Kristi Noem, J. D. Vance, and other hard-liners generated justifiable outrage and helped mobilize opposition to Donald Trump’s terror campaign against immigrants.

Meanwhile, however, a far less-publicized case threatens to provide an enduring legal framework by which virtually anybody involved in activism against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), or Trump’s agenda more broadly, can be labeled a “domestic terrorist” and treated accordingly."

The Prairieland 19 Case Is a Test for Criminalizing Dissent

Nine members of the “Prairieland 19,” anti-ICE protesters in Texas who the Trump administration is dubiously accusing of domestic terrorism, are going on trial this week. The case is a test for how easily Trump might criminalize dissent going forward.

Read this everbody. Very bad things are happening to peaceful protesters down in Texas at the hands of this vicious, un-American regime. It also seems that these poor souls don't have good representation. I hope @ACLU gets involved if they aren't already. Ultimately I hope the good citizens of Texas, in the form of a jury, do what juries all over this country have done..... hold the line.
