Why Was the Prairieland Jury Persuaded to Convict Given the Government’s Weak Case? - UNICORN RIOT

Johnson County, TX — In a surprising verdict, nine activists were found guilty last month in the Prairieland ICE Detention Center protest case. The defendants—Savanna Batten, Zachary Evetts, Autumn Hill, Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Daniel “Des” Rolando Sanchez Estrada, Benjamin “Champagne” Song, Elizabeth Soto, and Ines Soto—were convicted of numerous federal charges, including riot, material […]

This weekend we continued with more postering and a banner placed on Freedom Parkway.

Our banner reads "Fighting Trump Means Fighting Ice - Support the Prairieland Defendants - They Could Be You". This language reflects the fact that centrist and center-left nonprofits dedicated to "freedom of speech" have been averse to picking up this case and supporting the Prairieland Defendants. The Texas ACLU, for example, isn't touching it.

Ask these organizations... why not? Are they that scared of Trump and ICE? The Martin Niemöller poem is often misquoted, but this is where it applies the most.

"First they came for the anarchists and antifascists
And I did not speak out
Because Trump called them terrorists
And also because we're scared of losing funding"

Please visit the website Prairielanddefendants.com and learn how you can be more helpful than the ACLU is now. One of our favorite suggestions is to start an "Emma Goldman Book Club" at your school or location.

Im #Prairieland-Verfahren gegen #Antifas in den USA hat das FBI Mitteilungen aus dem verschlüsselten Signal-Messenger rekonstruiert. Diese gefährliche Anzeige und Speicherung in Pushnachrichten lässt sich aber deaktivieren:

The case was the first time authorities charged people for alleged “Antifa” activities after President Trump designated the umbrella term a terrorist organization.

To mark April's Weekend of Support for the Prairieland defendants, we spent the weekend working to raise awareness of the case. By wheatpasting, stickering, and bannering, we can bypass social media censorship and reach people directly. You can do this yourself too! The website https://prairielanddefendants.com/get-involved/ has plenty of material to print out and more suggestions about getting involved.

Remember that many of these defendants have been convicted and imprisoned for simply sharing zines in a Signal group. Dissent is being criminalized more and more: it's time to fight back while you can still speak against ICE.

Stay tuned for more!

The state locked up Maricela Rueda for protesting the brutality of immigrant detention, and now her family is left carrying the weight: caring for her daughter, managing the house, and dealing with the financial fallout. The money goes directly to her daughter’s care and urgent household needs.

“FBI records directly undercut 1 of the Prairieland prosecution’s core claims: that antifa is a violent, criminal organization bent on overthrowing the gov. These records were never turned over to the defense & thus never seen by the jury. Could have major implications.” ~ Ricci Sergienko
