Autumn Hill (a trans woman) was sentenced to 50 years of prison in a men’s facility for attending the Prairieland anti-ICE protest. She left before shots were fired. She did nothing but legally exercise her first amendment rights.

Reminder that trans people are considered "probable domestic terrorists" by this administration.

The explosives charge is especially bullshit because the law against it explicitly states that it does not apply to commercial fire works, which is what they set off outside the facility (not aimed at the facility)

They are trying to make an example out of these innocent people. The judge that allowed this farce of a trial needs to be held accountable for his obvous maliciously biased ruling
