## Resource

Judges handed down brutal sentences this week in the aftermath of a July shooting outside a Texas immigration facility, where protests turned deadly and now over a dozen people face decades behind bars. Prosecutors blame antifa, while defense teams argue it was a peaceful protest for immigrant solidarity and that weapons were for self-defense. One defendant even admitted to spray-painting the facility — a charge that could reshape how future protests are viewed. With federal judges calling the event an “assault on democracy,” the legal battle is heating up, and the fallout could redefine protest rights in America.
