Indigenous Climate Activist Victor Puertas Remains in Custody Despite No Indictment

It has been almost five months since Victor Puertas was arrested at the South River Music Festival in DeKalb County, GA on March 5, and even though no evidence has been levied against him, he has been behind bars ever since. Throughout his detainment, he has been continuously denied bond and has yet to be indicted on the one charge against him — state-level domestic terrorism. Puertas was initially in the custody of DeKalb County for 90 days, and because the county didn’t indict him, they needed to set his bail and allow his release, per Georgia law. According to a recent statement written by Puertas, after he was released on bond from DeKalb County, he was “immediately detained by ICE and driven to Stewart Detention Center.” Learn more here: https://unicornriot.ninja/2023/indigenous-climate-activist-victor-puertas-remains-in-custody-despite-no-indictment/
