The case stems from a violent anti-ICE protest, but critics say the government's prosecution threatens First Amendment rights.

    Even the possibility for a judge to give this case such a sentence, legally speaking, is insane. USA might be one of the most fucked up countries in the world.

      He probably didn’t pay a big enough bribe or he would have got 30 days.

      Only one challenges power and those who the “crime and punishment” system is made to serve.

    He wasn’t even at the night of the incident. He’s just moving documents out. What a load of bollacks.

      And even if he was nothing happened there which would warrant such a long prison sentence. This is them criminalising political opposition. It is literally fascism in action.

    As sad and disturbing this is, the absurdity is “funny”, in a most depressing way.

    You have to be pretty tone deaf to be anti anti fascist, and not realise that the anti’s cancel out.

      That’s why the fascists have been trying to convince people that antifa means anti-first amendment.

      And Texans apparently eat that shit up.
