At 18:54 · chapter starts 18:10
On July 4th, 2025, a group of protesters descended on the Prairieland ICE facility in Texas, shooting fireworks, spray-painting graffiti, slashing government van tires, and ultimately — after a federal agent drew his gun — a protester with a rifle shot and wounded the officer. The government then did something remarkable: it prosecuted 22 people, including individuals who were not present. Nine were charged under a Trump executive order designating Antifa a terrorist organization, receiving sentences of 30 to 100 years.

His wife did. She called him from jail; the government recorded it. When police later stopped him moving a box of anarchist zines from his home — sticker sheets, tattoo flash, illustrations — those zines were entered as terrorism evidence. He received 30 years.

Elon Musk, the world's most prominent free-speech absolutist, has said nothing.

Nine protesters at the Prairieland ICE facility received sentences ranging from 30 to 100 years under Trump's material-support-for-terrorism executive order.

Daniel 'Dez' Sanchez Estrada never attended the Prairieland ICE protest. He was convicted of terrorism and sentenced to 30 years because police stopped him moving a box of anarchist zines from his home. His wife had attended the protest; a recorded jail call linked them.
The same movement that defended Kyle Rittenhouse's right to carry a rifle to a protest, that screams about First Amendment rights being violated by Facebook, is throwing protesters in prison for 30 to 100 years for leftist literature. It's not libertarianism — it's one rule for us, another for everyone else.
