The Prairieland Defenders trial - who are accused of crimes related to a protest at a Texas concentration camp run by ICE ranging from moving anarchist and anti-fascist fanzines from one location to another up to attempted murder - is off to a crazy start, as reported by NPR's This American Life this week.

The Trump appointee judge objected to the shirt the defense attorney was wearing, which depicted the faces of several civil rights leaders. Then, when he couldn't find a single potential juror who would say that they had no concerns about ICE, he declared a mistrial!

It's unclear what will happen to the trial or defendants now. The story:
