In Dallas, activists participating in a “noise demo” against ICE’s rampages in their city in July have now become the first protesters to be charged with terrorism for alleged membership in “antifa.” That’s right, “antifa,” the right-wing delusion of a leftist conspiracy, whose “membership” does not, in actual fact, exist.

The [bourgeois] state alleges that someone shot at officers dispatched to protests at Prairieland Detention Center. Eleven activists have been charged with attempted murder, and some of those working to support them have been charged with complicity in “terrorist acts,” making a total of seventeen people, now known as the “Prairie Defendants,” facing severe consequences for the acts of protesting and supporting their comrades.

ICE and its affiliated forces of order have begun focusing on protesters as well as immigrants. “According to the government’s case, the defendants’ all-black clothing, handheld radios, and use of encrypted messaging apps serve as evidence, not of their being security-conscious protesters in a period of escalating political repression but, rather, of being members of a ‘militant enterprise.’”

We cannot accept such political repression. We keep each other safe.
