New - A breakdown of how the Prairieland 19 federal trial collapsed on day one over courtroom decorum, and what it reveals about how protest cases are handled in federal courts. It previews what’s ahead in the prosecution, why the case matters beyond court, and what to watch as the trial continues.

This case is the first time the government has ever filed terrorism charges against “antifa” and has raised the alarm among legal experts because of the logic prosecutors are using to argue that the defendants, including several who were not even at the noise demonstration, are a part of an organized criminal “antifa cell” and broader criminal conspiracy.
