the best chance the Prairieland anti-ICE protesters have is that we keep their names and their case on our lips as we eventually move to a post-Trump era, that we fight for their pardon as an essential part of departing from fascism.
DFW Support Committee@dfwsupportcommitt.bsky.social · last mo.Federal sentencing has started. Zachary Evetts was just sentenced to 50 years by Chief District Judge Reed O'Connor. Maricela Rueda was just sentenced to 840 months / 70 years by Judge Mark Pittman.
I wrote about the Prairieland defendants and the urgency of opposing the extreme sentences handed down on Tuesday. And they likely will not be the last.
The Prairieland Sentences Are a National Emergency
A federal court has punished Texas ICE demonstrators with decades in prison. This is dark news not just for them but for anyone who may want to register political dissent.
