A group of anti-ICE protesters in Texas were sentenced to 30 to 100 years in jail on Tuesday, after federal prosecutors accused them of being an "antifa terror cell." The activists attended a protest and noise demonstration outside the Prairieland ICE jail in Alvarado, Texas. All nine defendants were found guilty after being tried before a federal judge in Texas. The maximum sentences prosecutors sought in the case stand in stark contrast to the treatment of January 6 U.S. Capitol insurrectionists, says Sufia Khalid, who represented one of the defendants, Maricela Rueda. Rueda has been sentenced to 70 years in prison for attending the demonstration, while "the average sentence in the Capitol riots, which had far more serious conduct than the Prairieland Nine defendants, was 26 months."

On this day in 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till was abducted and lynched in Mississippi after being falsely accused of flirting with a white woman. When his mother Mamie saw his mutilated body, she insisted on an open casket so the world could see the brutality of anti-Black racism in the Jim Crow South. In 2000, Democracy Now! spoke to Mamie Till-Mobley about her decision to hold an open-casket funeral for her young son and what Emmett's life and death meant for the emerging civil rights movement that would later engulf the country. Mamie Till-Mobley died three years after our interview, in 2003 at the age of 81. If Emmett Till had lived, he would be 85 years years old today. Listen to our full interview with Mamie Till-Mobley, and see more of our coverage, here:
