CALL-IN CAMPAIGN HAPPENING RIGHT NOW

The Prairieland defendants are facing horrendous conditions in Tarrant County Jail where they were moved this week before trial. They have had their legal paperwork confiscated, held in filthy cells, and treated as violent and dangerous.

NEW: Rep. Salman Bhojani said lawmakers were denied entry to Prairieland Detention Center, where Leqaa Kordia has been running “a high fever for several days” due to what he called inhumane conditions.

In May, her cousin said she had already lost 50 lbs.

As news breaks that a union leader just beat a billionaire + Trump backed Republican in a #Texas Senate race, let's remember that the state is attempting to bury anti-ICE protesters with decades in prison.

Building strong movements means fighting repression. newrepublic.com/article/2041...

COME LEARN ABOUT THE PRAIRIELAND CASE!

We'll be sharing information on the defendants facing "Antifa terrorist" charges for protesting outside an ICE detention facility, the implications this case has on organizing in North Texas, and how you can get involved in fighting fascism.

As folks begin to orient around anti-war protests, the story of the Prairieland Defendants serves as a warning. As Javier T de Janon of the National Lawyers Guild told me: Under this precedent, “the state could just accuse you of anything and say you ‘conspired’ to do [it].”

Trans people face horrifying rates of incarceration and mistreatment in prisons and jails around the country. This latest crackdown also combines with escalating authoritarianism.

The Prairieland defendants are political prisoners.

Two trans women have faced torture, bigotry and horrific conditions since arrested as part of the infamous Prairieland crackdown on anti-ICE protest.

They tell TNN about surviving behind bars, as @thefreeradical.org delves into the absurd attack on "antifa" that's just about criminalizing dissent:

On February 17, the trial of nine people connected to a July 4, 2025 protest outside Alvarado, Texas’s Prairieland immigration detention center begins. Now that Sanchez Estrada is going to trial, he’s looking at four decades behind bars and deportation.

People at the Prairieland ICE Concentration Camp, located outside Dallas, Texas, are enduring freezing temperatures as the ICE refuses to activate the facilities’ heating systems. The temperature outside is a bone-chilling 13°F (8°F with wind chill), and the situation has persisted since 1/26/6

By the way, what most people are posting on social media rn about ICE are 10x worse than what the Prairieland Defendants are being accused of.
With the current situation in Minneapolis, let’s not forget the Prairieland Defendants who deserve more eyes and support. They’re facing decades in prison and a hostile judge over holding a noise demonstration outside of a detention facility.

Note that within this context, the liberals/centrists/etc. arguing that fighting back against the fascists would just make things worse are functionally just arguing that fascism should not be meaningfully opposed.

The regime clearly does not want mass resistance.
They want to make people scared to protest, scared to resist ICE terrorism, scared to fight fascism. That’s why the charges are so horrific.

We are outraged & heartbroken that the government's manufactured search for a nonexistent North Texas Antifa cell has ensnared a 19th person. Lucy's January 5 arrest further demonstrates the state is hellbent on cobbling together an Antifa bogeyman narrative out of the mundane.
