[USA] A new date has been set for the start of the Prairieland Defendants’ federal jury trial: Feb 17!
We have been told by multiple lawyers this date is very unlikely to change. The North Texas federal court circuit in Fort Worth is well-known for being fast & firm with trial dates. Dario Sanchez’s state trial is set for Jan 12 in Johnson County. This is not a lot of time! We’re calling on supporters everywhere to do everything you can to help the defendants get the best defense possible.

Following a noise demo at the Prairieland ICE detention facility near Fort Worth, TX, federal agents and texas law enforcement have arrested 18 people and brought charges against them that include material support for terrorism, attempted murder, and tampering with evidence. The official story is one of an Antifa terrorist cell caught red-handed. But the facts suggest that this story is a fabrication; a politically motivated narrative used to justify a criminalization of left-wing politics, and to justify extreme charges for the purpose of stifling dissent. Supporting these individuals is an emergency in our current political landscape.TRIAL DATES

The first trial date is January 12th when Dario Sanchez will go to trial for state-level charges including "Hindering Prosecution of Terrorism."

Another nine defendants will go to trial for federal charges, including terrorism and attempted murder charges, the trial begins on February 17the.
