OA1252 - Just one month ago, nine people were convicted in a Texas federal court for their participation in a protest outside the Prairieland ICE facility in a first-ever prosecution in which the Department of Justice claimed that support for so-called “Antifa” constituted “material support for terrorism.” What can we learn from the plight of the Prairieland defendants about how the Trump administration is punishing dissent, and where do things go from here? We are joined by Ron, a community member who attended the trial, and Prairieland defense attorney Xavier de Janon of the People’s Law Collective and National Lawyers Guild for their unique perspectives on this important case.  <ol> <li> <a href="https://prairielanddefendants.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">“Support the Prairieland Defendants”</a> (DFW Support Committee website) </li> <li> <a href= "https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txnd.410488/gov.uscourts.txnd.410488.127.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Superseding indictment with material support for terrorism charges</a> (filed 12/10/2025) </li> <li> ‘<a href= "https://inthesetimes.com/article/prairieland-antifa-trial-protest-repression-fbi" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">“Exclusive: FBI Files Counter Government’s Argument in Texas “Antifa” Trial,”</a> Adam Federman, In These Times (3/26/2026) </li> <li> <a href= "https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/countering-domestic-terrorism-and-organized-political-violence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">“Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence (NPSM-7)”,</a> The White House, September 25, 2025 </li> </ol> Check out the OA <a href= "https://linktr.ee/openingarguments" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Linktree</a> for all the places to go and things to do!
