Anti-ICE Protesters Sentenced to Decades in Prison for “Terrorism”

Anti-ICE protesters in Texas received prison sentences ranging from 50 to 100 years on terrorism charges. During a July 4 incident at an Alvarado detention center, activists used fireworks, vandalized vehicles, and destroyed security cameras. One individual shot a police officer in the shoulder. Five defendants received 50-year terms, while one received 70 years for providing material support to terrorists. These penalties significantly exceed those given to Jan. 6 rioters, signaling aggressive judicial action against ICE protesters.
