Why We Have to Fight Back Against ICE Protesters’ Terror Convictions
Since his first inauguration, Trump has been throwing charges at protesters and seeing what sticks. He always failed — until now.
Natasha Lennard, March 17 2026
Excerpt: "It started on President Donald Trump’s very first day in office in 2017. Over 200 #InaugurationDay #protesters were mass arrested and charged with hefty riot and conspiracy felonies for simply being present and wearing black at a rowdy demonstration.
"Since then, the government has sought and failed to convict left-wing activists on thin, unconstitutional claims of collective guilt.
"Just as the J20 prosecutions, as the inauguration cases were known, fell apart, so too did cases accusing dozens of participants in the Atlanta-based #StopCopCity movement of #DomesticTerrorism, #racketeering, and conspiracy.
"It became a pattern of sorts. Prosecutors on both the federal and state level throwing extreme and overreaching charges at leftists, based on infirm theories of collective liability, aiming to paint #antifascist, #AntiRacist movements as criminal terrorist networks. The evidence marshaled in these cases was consistently no more than typical #FirstAmendment-protected activity, like making protest signs, raising bail funds, or being present at a demonstration. The cases drained movement energies and resources.
Again and again, though, they failed."This was the pattern repeated in the malign, overreaching cases against protesters in #FortWorthTX. The #AntiICE activists had mounted a demonstration at a U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement jail in nearby #Alvarado.
There were consistencies with other anti-protest cases. There had been some illegal activity outside the #PrairielandDetentionFacility last July, and a police officer was shot. The government latched onto these circumstances to build its strategy of criminalizing dissent through guilt by association."Even in conservative Texas, I didn’t think a jury would buy the government’s case that these defendants were 'North Texas Antifa Cell operatives' — an organization fabricated whole cloth by the Trump administration — who had orchestrated an elaborate ambush of the ICE facility.
" 'Most people looking at this case are still stuck on the shooting aspect, but the jury decided the shooting was beside the point,' a member of a support group for the defendants told me. 'The verdict is that a normal #NoiseDemo deserves to be called terrorism and people should spend potentially the rest of their lives in prison. The implications of this are obvious, and people should know that the DOJ is going to try this again.' "

Will #DomesticTerrorism charges be brought against these #AntiICE #protestors?
#ICE enforcement action leads to #protest, violent clashes in #SouthBurlington, #Vermont
by Derek Brouwer, Liam Elder-Connors, Zoe McDonald, March 12, 2026
"A tense, day-long standoff outside a South Burlington, Vermont house ended Wednesday night with federal immigration agents removing three people inside and a series of violent clashes between police and hundreds of #activists who tried to impede the apprehension.
"It marked the first major confrontation between protesters and federal immigration authorities in Vermont. Federal law enforcement deployed #TearGas and #flashbangs on a normally busy street in the state’s second largest city to disperse the activists who had surrounded their vehicles. Roughly 60 local and state law enforcement officers were also on scene, though the departments sought to distance themselves from ICE’s conduct.
"The incident began when a man fled Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who had been surveilling a Dorset Street residence where he was staying.
"According to an ICE affidavit, the subject of the warrant was Deyvi Daniel Corona-Sanchez, a Mexico native who was removed from the United States in 2022, and later illegally reentered the country. In January, Corona-Sanchez was arrested by Middlebury police and charged with drunk driving, the affidavit says.
"Following a multi-vehicle crash, Corona-Sanchez escaped to a house on Dorset Street, authorities said.
"A growing number of protesters and police assembled outside throughout the day as immigration authorities waited for a criminal warrant to enter and arrest him.
"A neighbor, Richard Landsman, said an Ecuadoran family with two children had lived in the house for roughly a year. At one point in the afternoon, people helped a child leave the house; they were driven away.
"When the warrant came through after roughly nine hours, federal agents approached the front door with #TacticalGear and weapons drawn. They were supported by #VermontStatePolice troopers.
"Police wrenched away protesters blocking the front entrance and ICE agents broke down the door. Federal agents removed three people from inside, forcing them into an unmarked car. They attempted to drive off, but protesters linked arms and blocked the street. Confrontations ensued, and the agents eventually managed to drive off by running over a median and exiting via a driveway."

Feds Criminalize Aiding #Protests Against #ICE
The #Trump administration is targeting nonviolent acts like identifying masked agents and handing out #PPE in support of LA’s #AntiICE movement.
Akela Lacy
July 23 2025Excerpt: " 'Roving patrols' operating without reasonable suspicion and denying access to #lawyers violated the Fourth and the Fifth Amendments, the judge wrote. 'What the federal government would have this Court believe — in the face of a mountain of evidence presented in this case — is that none of this is actually happening.'
"Now, those accused of helping the anti-ICE movement are facing prosecution or investigation. Earlier this month, a federal grand jury indicted a man after he handed out #FaceShields to people protesting ICE in Los Angeles two days after President Donald Trump deployed the #NationalGuard.
"#AlejandroOrellana, 29, pleaded not guilty to a charge of conspiracy to aid and abet civil disorders. According to a grand jury indictment, the face shields were 'advertised as designed to protect from chemical splashes and flying debris.'
" 'Alejandro Orellana’s arrest for distributing supplies is an outrageous violation of #CivilRights and should be a wakeup call to people everywhere,' said California attorney Thomas Harvey.
" 'This appears to be a targeted, political attack on resistance to a military incursion on our communities,' Harvey said. 'Distributing supplies to protesters is not a crime. It’s a critical role to help keep people safe — especially in the face of some of the most violent police repression I’ve seen since the #Ferguson uprising.' "

#LosAngeles high school students walk out to protest #ICERaids
by Kevin Reed, February 5, 2025
"Students from multiple high schools in East Los Angeles walked out of class on Tuesday in support of #immigrants’ rights and against the Trump administration’s policies of arrest, detention and #deportation of migrant workers and their families.
"Students at Garfield High School walked out at 10:00 am and marched down Whittier Boulevard, blocking traffic. They waved Mexican flags and carried signs and banners reading '#LuchaContraTrump' [fight against Trump]. Shortly thereafter, students from Oscar De La Hoya, Esteban E. Torres, Bravo Medical and Roosevelt high schools joined the walkout.
"By 1:00 pm, the student demonstration had reached City Hall. A report by CBS News said that student protesters had breached City Hall barriers by 2:30 pm.
"The CBS News report continued:
School officials encouraged students to stay on campus for safety purposes, and to “express their views on campus.” Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho encouraged students not to stay home, and to protest “within the school facilities.”
"The student walkout coincided with a third day of protests in downtown Los Angeles against the Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security (#DHS), and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids and arrests of thousands of immigrant workers since Trump’s inauguration on January 20.
"Some immigrants have been detained and flown out of the US on military aircraft to countries such Columbia, Venezuela and Guatemala. While the White House is claiming that those being deported are guilty of crimes in the US, the truth is that the migrants being deported on military flights have been caught up in the ICE dragnet regardless of their immigration or legal status.
"Tuesday saw the first US flight of detained migrants to the US naval base at #GuantanamoBay, Cuba, where Trump said a prison camp for 30,000 people is being built. The flight from Fort Bliss in Texas was reported to have a dozen migrants on board, most of whom were from Venezuela and classified as 'high-value' detainees. [I warned you wall that #Trump would start using #Gitmo!]
"The Trump administration, which asserts that the migrants are affiliated with the Tren de Aragua gang, will house these men in cells like those holding the 'enemy combatants' who have been jailed at Guantanamo since the administration of George W. Bush, following the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. The 15 detainees remaining have been held in violation of their democratic rights.
"The demonstrations on Tuesday were part of a nationwide #DayWithoutImmigrants campaign, with workers staying home and students organizing walk-outs. The campaign was initiated on social media and took place in many of the cities where ICE raids have already taken place.
"In #SeasideCalifornia, south of San Francisco, hundreds of people marched on Monday, blocking traffic on Fremont Street and Del Monte Boulevard to protest the Trump administration’s anti-immigration policies and plans for mass deportations.
"Protesters reported that on the previous day Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were spotted in Seaside and North Salinas. Many Latino-owned stores in Seaside and down the Central Coast were closed. Lupita’s Bakery on Fremont Avenue in Seaside released a statement that said, 'Our decision today was about more than just business; it was about people, unity, and standing for what is right.'"

Police in #RiotGear face-off with protesters in downtown #LosAngeles
Story by Josh DuBose, February 3, 2025
"Police in riot gear moved in on protesters in downtown Los Angeles after a daylong demonstration against Trump’s #immigration policies and mass #deportations.
"The #protest, which was organized and promoted on social media, originated on the Placita Olvera on Olvera Street near DTLA and saw demonstrators on the 101 Freeway at Alameda Street blocking both sides of roadway by 12:30 p.m., causing massive gridlock.
"Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department assisted by California Highway Patrol were able to clear the freeway as protesters took to downtown surface streets, but then quickly got back on the major artery through downtown at Los Angeles Street.
"Many of the protesters were carrying signs, some of which were speaking out against Trump’s policies regarding immigration.
"'The real criminal is in the White House,' one sign read. Another read
'Jesus said ‘Love Thy Neighbor,’ not deport them.'"Read more [with photos]:

"The #protest, which was organized and promoted on social media, originated on the Placita Olvera on Olvera Street near DTLA and saw demonstrators on the 101 Freeway at Alameda Street blocking both sides of roadway by 12:30 p.m., causing massive gridlock.
"Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department assisted by California Highway Patrol were able to clear the freeway as protesters took to downtown surface streets, but then quickly got back on the major artery through downtown at Los Angeles Street.
"Many of the protesters were carrying signs, some of which were speaking out against Trump’s policies regarding immigration.
"'The real criminal is in the White House,' one sign read. Another read
'Jesus said ‘Love Thy Neighbor,’ not deport them.'"Read more [with photos]:

Large #AntiICEProtest fills street in #NorthAustin; 2 arrested by APD
By Elizabeth Evans and Jenna King
Updated February 4, 2025"Austin police later said in a statement Tuesday that two people were arrested at the protest.
"APD said the gatherings were 'mostly peaceful' but stated there was a group of 'agitators' that engaged in violent behavior, throwing rocks at police officers and driving recklessly.
"'To reiterate, the events were mostly peaceful, but unfortunately individuals who were not participants in the organized gatherings joined in and disrupted the peace. As always, APD respects our community’s right to peacefully demonstrate, however we will not tolerate behavior that puts our community and officers in danger,' the statement concluded.
"At around 1:30 p.m., a brief police pursuit happened in an attempt to apprehend a driver 'engaging in dangerous conduct', says APD, resulting in the arrest of one person for reckless driving and their vehicle being impounded. APD did not elaborate on what the 'dangerous conduct' was.
"Austin police say that the crowd dispersed at the request of the organizers, despite many people seen on camera remaining in the area.
"APD then says at around 9 p.m., the 'agitators' returned to the area and a fight broke out among those gathered, which prompted a police response. Multiple people were reportedly throwing rocks and bottles at police.
"Officers used #Pepperballs, which APD says are 'less lethal skin irritants' similar to pepper spray, in an attempt to prevent further violence.
"While the crowds dispersed, APD says one person refused to move out of the roadway, and they were arrested for pedestrian in the roadway."

#GlendaleArizona: Chemical agent used to disperse Glendale protest over federal immigration policies
by Lauren De Young, Arizona Republic, February 5, 2025
"A protest against federal #AntiImmigration policies late Tuesday ended with chemical agents dispersing the crowd, according to Glendale police.
"A crowd of protesters, estimated to have over 100, mostly young participants, gathered near the Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale around 5 p.m. to oppose President Donald #Trump's immigration and deportation policies. The protest started at North 93rd and West Glendale avenues, moving to 91st Avenue after police blocked off roads, and looping around the block.
"Protesters chanted sayings, like 'F Donald Trump,' and held Mexican flags and signs reading, 'My people aren't criminals, Trump is!' A few American flags were flown.
"One man was arrested for criminal traffic violations, according to Glendale police spokesperson Moroni Mendez. An Arizona Republic photographer on the scene said the man driving the car was revving its engine in support of the protest. Police searched his car and impounded it.
"The man's name was not released.
"The crowd thinned throughout the night, with the protest scheduled to end around 9 p.m. Around 9:30 p.m., Glendale police declared the remaining 100-person protest on West Glendale Avenue near Loop 101 to be unlawful. Police used a 'chemical agent' to disperse the remaining crowd, according to Mendez.
"Police were aware of the scheduled protest, Mendez said.
"Tuesday night's protest was the latest in a string of protests in Glendale and Phoenix opposing federal immigration and deportation policies.
"No arrests have been made in relation to the previous protests, Mendez said."

'We will show up at their door': #Protesters gather at Phoenix #ICE office and the Capitol
February 3, 2025
"Two protests were held in Phoenix near Monterey Park and the state Capitol on Monday, both with attendees passionate about speaking out against the policies of mass deportation enacted under President Donald Trump, joining similar protests in other parts of the country.
"Marchers from the Capitol ended up walking to Seventh and Roosevelt streets around 8 p.m., Phoenix police said. Officers were set up in a line with shields and #PepperGuns, blocking off Seventh Street in all directions, according to an Arizona Republic reporter. However, police later opened up the street, and protesters started to head back to the Capitol peacefully.
"Earlier in the day around 3:30 p.m., 150 people briefly blocked traffic on Central Avenue outside the field office of the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement office. Northbound traffic was blocked for about 30 minutes, first at Palm Lane, then on McDowell Road as the protesters stood in the street. Light rail trains slowed, but it did not appear service was interrupted."
