Texas anti-ICE protesters convicted of terrorism charges sentenced to at least 50 years in prison. Activists accused of being part of "antifa" get long prison terms in case seen as test of Trump’s crackdown on dissent...


A group of Texas protesters convicted of terrorism charges received unusually harsh sentences of at least 50 years in prison on Tuesday in a closely watched case that was widely seen as a test case of the Trump administration’s efforts to crack down on dissent.

After a three-week jury trial, the nine activists were all found guilty of a slew of criminal charges in March, stemming from a Fourth of July protest at an immigrant detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, south of Fort Worth.
