New- Nine people are facing decades in prison after a July 4 protest outside Prairieland Detention Center was prosecuted as “terrorism” in federal court.
The evidence didn’t hold, but the narrative did as prosecutors criminalized ideology. This case sets a precedent everyone should be paying attention to.

Islamophobic Think Tank Helped Prosectors Write Terror Indictment Against ICE Protesters
"A researcher at a far-right think tank helped Justice Department prosecutors craft their indictment for terror charges against an alleged “north Texas antifa cell,” the researcher testified Monday. The charges were brought in relation to a protest outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center outside Dallas."

Defendants are feeling good and strong. They could hear us chanting as they were loaded out at the end of the day and they could feel all the great support. Keep it up!
Free them all!

Sealed jury questions from attorneys that the judge failed to ask, tech issues that denied the public access to key jury selection moments, racist comments from the judge, and more show, yet again, that this trial is a politically-motivated sham.
Your support is incredibly valuable! Please continue to spread the news and come to the courthouse!

PRAIRIELAND FEBRUARY 17 TRIAL UPDATES

One of the most consequential trials of Trump's second term begins on February 17th, and our friend Des is in the middle of it with a box of zines.
Join us in Asheville on Sunday, Feb 15th at 5pm for a teach-in on the Prairieland case. We'll begin with a brief presentation of background information, the situation of our friend Des, and the latest updates on his trial, with a special emphasis on the implications for the movement to abolish ICE and defeat fascism in the US.
Our collective will then facilitate a discussion on how this case might inform our thinking about violence, nonviolence, and state repression in this moment of growing opposition. The final segment of the teach-in will be a space for participants to engage with the Free Des Solidarity Week by writing a letter, creating art, or developing materials to educate others about the case!
This is a free event, but we ask that you bring a donation to support Des' legal defense fund. Given the topic of this conversation, consider the recommendations we've made at https://firestorm.coop/news/expect-surveillance.html

"[...] More recently, the supporters of the Free Palestine movement have been systematically attacked, and Stop Cop City protesters have been targeted as “domestic terrorists”. With each new wave of popular protest, the U.S. government has invested in creating enemies where there are none."

This is the same county jail where almost all the #PrairielandDefendants are being held.
#JohnsonCounty, the same county where the sheriff, #AdamKing, was arrested & indicted on charges of abuse of office/official oppression by sexual harassment & 2 felony counts of retaliation against a witness, as of August 28 [2].

Savanna is 1 of 17 people arrested thus far on absurd conspiracy charges after an anti-ICE demo on July 4, 2025. She and her codefendants endure tortuous conditions in #JohnsonCountyJail in #Cleburne #Texas, including solitary confinement and guards reportedly strip searching them up to 3 times a day. With her bond set at $10 million, she has been held in solitary for over 2 months now.
