The Trump regime has unleashed the full force of ICE, CBP, and DHS for his mass deportation agenda. As more people stand up against this violence, federal prosecutors across the country have brought hundreds of charges against protesters under 18 U.S.C. § 111(a)(1), “federal assault”.

The NLG has been raising the alarm about the Federal repression happening in North Texas. This is Trump's first case against his imagined "antifa terrorists".
