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."
