Earlier this year, after a three-week show trial in Fort Worth, Texas, nine anti-ICE activists were found guilty of “material support to terrorism,” “conspiracy” and other bogus charges. Their “crime” was holding a “noise” demonstration at the Prairieland ICE detention center on July 4, 2025. For this, they were handed outrageous sentences of 30 to 100 years. This witchhunt is the front line in Trump’s campaign to outlaw anyone who opposes government policy. We must redouble efforts to free the Prairieland defendants and fight government repression!
On October 24th, the Partisan Defense Committee held a united front rally in NYC calling to:
- Free the Prairieland Defendants!
- Defend Anti-ICE Protesters!
- Fight Government Repression of the Left!
An injury to one is an injury to all!
