Texas anti-ICE protesters given at least 50-year terrorism sentences

@SuzanaD329

Why anyone lives in TX is beyond me

@von67trumpet24

That 100 year sentence is a cruel and excessive punishment.

I love Texas barbecue, and I know there are good people in Texas, but it’s hard for me to imagine ever willingly setting foot in Texas again

How is this not a violation of the 8th Amendment?

Mike from Adventure 3654

Ummm judge…we’re not a democracy, we’re a republic

Kuhlcat ❌️👑🇺🇦🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈4

Cannot believe the 100 year sentence will stand

maraleia4

They are vile vomit garbage cretin criminals.

Nazis gonna Nazi,,,, which apparently includes child molestation 🤷

It’s more than 180 years since we shoulda rescinded the Texas annexation.

Texas is a failed state

Storming the capital with the intent of murdering the vice president to overthrow an election and then pardoning those terrorists is the assault on democracy.

Chris Tyrell2

If it is a carry state, he should only be charged with manslaughter, these ICE do not deserve federal protection.

Debra Lee2

Is this judge angling for a SCOTUS seat?

Blackcap37

And it’s gonna take pressure. Everything I know about the Democratic Party indicates as strong proclivity on their part to throw the Prairieland anti-ICE activists under the bus.

A pardon accepts guilt & sets precedent. We need their convictions overturned.

O’Connor is a certifiable nutjob and fascist bigot. Most of his wackiest rulings have routinely been reversed on appeal. But even in light of his previous crusades, this defies belief.

Chrislovesdogs6

People get much shorter sentences than those for first-degree murder.

It must be a part of every candidates day one platform.

PictureTheSouth3

A pardon, and acceptance thereof, is an acceptance of guilt. Skip straight to expungement and apology.

kmcm3

Isn’t the best chance the defendants will win on appeal & the judge will be sanctioned for cruel & unusual punishment? Having to sit it out in prison until Democrats gain control & unravel so much harm could be a long wait

Missy Opposes Fascism 🦋🇺🇦🇵🇸🇬🇱🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🍂2

The heartbreaking part of that is that it's at least 3 years, and Texas notoriously has some of the most dangerous prisons in the US. 💔

Don2

There has to be a reckoning for all these maga judges

Dad Influence2

Absolutely. These absurd sentences are not standing in America, nfw

Spartacuss872

Is there a list of people who should be pardoned by the next president? Those who are falsely accused and railroaded by Trump's DOJ?

Carolyn Leagues3

If you can get 30 years just for knowing people who are at a protest, there's no reason to comply with anything

Jenny5

30 years for moving zines. Thirty years. Wasn't even at the protest. Brought to you by the same state that just gave a child molester 60 days after years of alleged abuse of an elementary school child.

Patricia5

Shocking. Yet the January 6 vandals go free and may be paid millions for their vandalism.

chonkdog.bsky.social3

I couldn’t imagine going to jail for 50 years for “being Antifa” while these pedophiles run free and commit acts of corruption daily. At some point people have to start standing up for themselves against these dirty fucking cops and this MAGA bullshit. Might as well get your licks in first.

Kat💙2

Really? But the J6’ers got their charges dismissed? GTFOH.

jwpschaub.bsky.social17

Attempted Murder in Texas is 2-20 years. The "Domestic Terror" order doesn't create any law.

Northern District of Texas. Trump judge tried the case; Trump judge issued sentences. Appeals go through 5th Circuit, then the 6-3 SCOTUS. Consider the decades these people got for a noise demonstration, vs. J6ers. Only hope for this crew is immediate pardon (dispense with formal process) in 2028

Unbreakable 🫘 - Don’t Back Down💜 Use your rights14

Um. I have renewed questions about J6 which they said was antifa but then pardoned everyone

𝕕𝕠𝕘𝕤𝕒𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕠𝕔𝕠𝕠𝕝.𝕓𝕤𝕜𝕪.𝕤𝕠𝕔𝕚𝕒𝕝 🧿12

And some of 1/6 violent insurrectionists who were pardoned are sexually abusing children.

Andy Cohen7

Wait…so how did they prove to a jury that they belong to an organized group called “Antifa,” and did they prosecute the leader of that group?

A Citizen3

They finally got a conviction against “Antifa” So wrong in so many ways

SocratesSnow 🐺❄️3

These judges are such fucking morons. They don’t understand that antifa doesn’t exist. It’s a made up enemy by Trump and his minions. These judges are a disgrace.

Sandy Stewart🦋2

Now here's a list of pardons that need to happen

RN Mayhem6

Judge O'Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because "the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology." Saying the quiet part out loud. This should be enough to get these sentences overturned.

Karl4

When this is over, the next Democratic POTUS any gender and color must pardon them, and send the Trump regime and their ICE Gestapo to prison a lot longer than 50 years.

Surviving Texas3

“vandalized cars in the parking lot, a guard shack, slashed the tires on a government van and broke a security camera. When a police officer arrived on the scene and drew his weapon, one of the activists fired an AR-15 from the woods, hitting the officer in the shoulder”

Star2

Turn about is fair play when it's time to label the Republican Party a terrorist organization and prosecute its members accordingly

ElizabethC 💙🐸3

This insanity is doubtless intended as a lesson to future protesters. God willing, the next step is a massive appeal.

Sex Crazed Salt Shaker of Death2

Day one pardons if there's ever a Democratic President.
