Anti-ICE protesters in Texas get 50-year sentences.
From the article, it sounds like criminal convictions and jail sentences were appropriate. However, the sentences seem a bit excessive.
For comparison, Enrique Tarrio got 22 years for seditious conspiracy to overthrow the government.
From Maphistos_Sidekick’s article:
Prosecutors in the case charged and secured conviction of eight of the nine defendants for providing material support for terrorists. The ninth defendant, Daniel Sanchez-Estrada was not at the protest, but was convicted of corruptly concealing a document or record after prosecutors said he moved leftwing zines and other materials at the request of Rueda, his wife, after she was arrested. Sanchez-Estrada was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Tuesday.
Side note: Given the sentences, I had assumed that the officer had died, didn’t realize he had survived.
Talk about your tRumped up charges!
I’ll see myself out.
To tRump, this is a shiny object he can paw at.
tRump’s minions are turning on the thought police hose to consolidate their power.
ICE tracks down and threatens US citizen who wrote an email to the agency head criticizing the Minneapolis murders. Free-dum!

The man killed in a shooting by an ICE officer in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday was not the target of an arrest warrant[…] A 26-year-old Colombian man who was authorized to work in the United States and had been issued a Social Security number was killed in the morning shooting
“An illegal alien [Ed. this is known to be a lie] departed the residence in a vehicle. ICE law enforcement attempted to conduct a vehicle stop. The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and fearing for public safety an officer discharged his weapon,” the ICE spokesperson said.
King told reporters at a news conference Monday that Mullin said that body cameras have been widely distributed but that they are not everywhere, “and apparently not in Biddeford, Maine.” King added that he was told the cameras were coming, possibly in 45 days, “but that doesn’t help us in this case.”
No mention even of the victim trying to “use the vehicle as a weapon” in this case. Whatever he should have done by the book, evading ICE is not worthy of execution.
when they were in my town, i just wanted them the f away from my town. but that doesn’t mean I wanted them to be the full-on awful somewhere else either. if the entire force of ice could be marched off a cliff until they filled the ravine below…
The victim was a 26-year-old Colombian man who was authorized to work in the United States, according to the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition. He was shot dead Monday morning.
A second video shared by journalist Sam Stein shows ICE agents removing the man’s body from the car and dropping it headfirst on the ground. He appeared to have been handcuffed. The agents involved in the shooting were not wearing body cameras, according to the Portland Press Herald.
“Objectively, this is a video of a car slowly turning and ICE agents walking alongside it,” Stein, who shared the first video on X, wrote. “Hard to understand how we could end up with ANOTHER deadly shooting here.”
A neighbor named Em — who asked that her last name be withheld out of fear of ICE — watched from her window as agents stopped the car and pulled the driver out. “No one went to him and no one did anything,” she said.
Daniel Boucher had been getting ready for work when he heard the shots. He watched agents pull the driver from the car. “He was bleeding profusely from the head,” Boucher said. "He was talking. He said, ‘I tried to stop.’"
Laws are more like suggestions.
MANHATTAN (CN) — Immigration and Customs Enforcement has made yet another arrest at a New York City immigration court, despite a May ruling from a federal judge that broadly blocked such detentions.
U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel, a George W. Bush appointee, ruled May 18 that ICE never had the legal justification to make these arrests. His order, which applied to immigration courts in Manhattan, kneecapped the agency’s controversial strategy of detaining people as they arrived for mandatory immigration hearings.
Despite that, ICE has made at least six arrests in Manhattan immigration courts since Castel issued his order. The latest arrest came on Thursday, when agents detained Bronx resident Matar Ndiaye while he was “dutifully attending an immigration court hearing for his asylum claim,” according to court filings.
