Anti-ICE Protesters Convicted In Federal Anti-Antifa CaseA group of anti-ICE protesters in Texas were all found guilty of various charges against them Friday, while being acquitted of some, in a court case that highlighted the Trump administration's attacks on antifa. The case has raised serious concerns about First Amendment protections amid the federal government's crackdown on protesters. On July 4 last year, an anti-ICE protest outside the Prarieland ICE facility ended with gunfire when Benjamin Song shot and wounded a police officer. A jury in federal court on Friday found Song guilty of one count of attempted murder Friday, acquitting him of two others. Notably, however, eight others who were present that day — but did not fire any shots — were found guilty of rioting, and all who were charged with it were found guilty of material support for terrorism, according to a Dallas Morning News rundown. Prosecutors focused on constitutionally protected activity, such as the protesters' use of the Signal messaging app, possessing printed zines and wearing dark clothing to the protest where the shooting occurred, which prosecutors described as a "planned ambush." Members of the group were acquitted of some other charges they faced, including attempted murder. Seven others charged in the case previously pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists, the Morning News noted.Though there is no domestic terrorism statute — and the antifa label was technically irrelevant to the charges themselves, The Guardian noted — the Trump administration has labeled antifa a domestic terrorist group, and has cracked down on protesters' rights nationwide.
