Seven other demonstrators received prison terms ranging from 30 to 70 years during sentencing hearings, with more protesters facing similar sentences next week. The charges stem from a July 4, 2025, demonstration at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center, where prosecutors accused the group of launching a premeditated terror attack.
