The right to gather doesn’t fail only when it is removed.
It also fails when the conditions that make gathering possible - shared awareness, visibility, overlap - are no longer reliably there.
A right can exist in law and still lose its force in practice.

The @dfwsupportcommittee, which is organizing support for the Prairieland defendants, has been issuing regular updates on the progress of the trial, and I highly recommend following their account and subscribing to their email list, if you're at all interested in this.
The latest update (linked below) is about two cooperating witnesses whose testimony seems to have largely backfired on the prosecution: they both said that the events in question were only meant to be a noise demo, that violence was never their plan, and one described the drastic level of coercion that was used to get her to sign a plea statement that someone else wrote.
Additionally, the new update from the DFW Support Committee addresses the antifa "expert" who the prosecution is slated to call to the stand next. In short: he's got no actual expertise and instead only has a long track record of provocative statements (often relating to the alleged threat posed by Muslims generally and "shariah law" in particular) and self-serving appearances on right-wing media outlets.
That's just a summary. I recommend reading the whole thing (it's really not that long).
These updates are really well written overall, and the content should appeal to anyone who is interested in or concerned about the right to assemble, protest, or even speak up at all in the US, as well as anyone who is generally trying to keep up with immigration policy and deepening state repression overall. Over time, whatever happens to these defendants will undoubtedly happen to more and more people around the country. We would all do well to stay informed about this case.

(3/3) My motivation is to enable all people to safely exercise their democratic right of free speech and liberty of assembly. During treatment, consensus and the protection of personal rights are given special priority. My medical equipment and materials for my work are financed by myself.

Similar #BorderPatrol teams have been previously deployed to various “civil unrest” incidents, including Portland in 2020.
To be clear, this #protest has been 100% #peaceful on the side of the protesters. Only the #federal “agents” have used force.

#BorderPatrol agents seen at a #protest near #Minneapolis, #Minnesota, appear to be a mix of the agency’s special response team and its Border Patrol Tactical Unit, also known as #BORTAC.
BORTAC agents are *generally* “trained” in crowd control & crowd dispersion, as well as other tactics to protect property. #PepperSpray & #TearGas canisters are among tools agents have used for crowd control.

A standoff between #protesters & #federal agents at the parking lot entrance of the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal building is underway—with agents deploying a #gas-like substance, a CNN team on scene experienced.
In an attempt to move protesters, agents deployed the substance, which CNN’s Ryan Young was on the receiving end of.
As smoke filled the air, protesters could be heard coughing & gasping for breath, in video.

#Trump said he’s dropping—for now—his push to deploy #NationalGuard troops in #Chicago, #LosAngeles & #Portland, OR, a move that comes after several legal roadblocks enjoined his effort.
Trump said in a social media post Wednesday that he’s removing the Guard troops for now. “We will come back, perhaps in a much different & stronger form, when crime begins to soar again - Only a question of time!” he wrote.

The #Trump admin asked for the pause on Nov 10, saying the judge’s order impermissibly micromanaged federal law enforcement in #Chicago.
US Dist Judge Sara Ellis in Chicago issued the order on Nov 6 after siding with a group of #protesters, #journalists & #clergy members who claimed they were being specifically targeted for violence in violation of their rights to #FreeSpeech, #FreedomOfAssembly & #ReligiousFreedom under the #US #Constitution.

“The government would have people believe, instead, that the Chicagoland area is in a vice hold of violence, ransacked by rioters & attacked by agitators,” Ellis said Thursday before announcing her ruling. “That simply is untrue. And the government’s own evidence in this case belies that assertion.”

US District Court Judge Sara Ellis said she will issue a sweeping injunction limiting the #UseOfForce by federal #immigration agents in the #Chicago area after she found a litany of violations were committed in recent weeks.
Ellis on Thursday painstakingly detailed instances across the Chicago area in which #BorderPatrol agents used force against residents in violation of her #TRO.
