SUPPORT THEM AND THEIR LOVED ONES
a powerful statement from the DFW Support Committee

“it is clear that no amount of appeasement & capitulation will stop these threats to our freedom. we must then support those facing repression & not bow to this state terror.”
www.givesendgo.com/supportdfwpr...
Update #2 July 11th, 2025 Statement from the DFW Support Committee on the Prairieland Defendants Texans are facing increasing repression by both the federal and state governments. Those on the frontlines of protecting people targeted by the state are especially being met with this repression in spite of our constitutional right to protest and dissent. Instead of listening to us, the government is arresting protestors, creating false narratives about their actions, and wholly ignoring their own obligation to due process. Acknowledging this, we have formed a committee of loved ones, friends and comrades of defendants who are committed to supporting them through the legal process and have experience with legal support and anti-repression organizing. We do not know what happened at the Prairieland Detention Center on July 4th, but we do know that 11 people were arrested and still sit in jail without legal representation. The framing of the case by the federal government should be concerning to all of us. The glaring inconsistencies in the official narrative and the alarmist accusations are a clear attempt to bolster the Trump administration's claims that the United States is on the verge of chaos, warranting a dramatic increase in militarized police action. This, in turn, will almost certainly be used as a justification for broader expansion of repression not only of popular movements but all political activity in opposition to Trump and his regime. As such, what is happening to the 11 people connected to the Prairieland Detention Center protest should be a concern for anyone who does not want to see this country descend further into authoritarianism. The Trump administration has consistently shown that it lies and distorts facts to advance its political narratives. In particular, they created news and propaganda that seem to confirm the far-right conspiracy theories that have fed Trump's rise to power. Time and again these narratives have been proven false and dangerous. These 11 people are some of the first arrested under this unbelievable narrative, but we should expect this sort of repression to spread further and wider. Trump does not distinguish between these defendants, Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialists of America, 50501, or anyone else standing against him. They are coming for undocumented migrants, they are coming for supporters of Palestine, they are coming for those protesting ICE's violence. The first months of this administration have been a disaster. People have been kidnapped in broad daylight by masked agents and sent to hellish prison camps in other countries, with detention centers like Prarieland as stopping points along the way. Natural disasters have killed hundreds with little warning or care from the government, and even now we're still trying to count the losses from flooding in North Texas. Decades of advancement in public health have being eviscerated measles killed more children in Texas in the last month than in the last 30 years. Transgender people are being erased from our society. US-made bombs are slaughtering millions around the world. The list goes on. People see the nightmare that is unfolding, and the state is furiously looking for ways to distract, confuse, immobilize, and terrify. In this context, it should be clear that these recent criminal charges in Alvarado, Texas, are a dangerous and unconscionable stunt in service of this goal. We are all affected by these disasters already, but criminalization of protest means hat we risk arrest and worse as the state moves to crush everyone under its power However, the people of this country will not accept authoritarian rule. From the initial waves of protest, resistance and antagonism have generalized and deepened It has involved not only elected officials and formal organizations, but more importantly, millions of ordinary people taking bold action to protect their communities and reclaim their autonomy. This spreading resistance has been mel with violent state repression such as deployment of active duty military on the streets of Los Angeles and the arrest of sitting judges and US senators. Now the state is attempting to ruin the lives of 11 people and their communities in North Texas. It is clear that no amount of appeasement and capitulation will stop these threats to our freedoms. We must then support those facing repression and not bow to this state terror. This is a historic moment and what will happen next is not clear. What we do know s that the best chance for all of us to live full and free lives is to join together and be brave. We in the DFW Support Committee have no choice but to push forward anc fight for those we care deeply about who are currently sitting in jail. To the rest of vou, we call on you to join us in our support. We will be releasing future updates anc statements about concrete actions people can take. The first and most important action today is raising funds so that these 11 people have the best legal defense possible. You can contact us at dfwsupportcommittee@hacari.com

givesendgo.dcom/supportdfwprotestors
Write letters & give financial support to DFW Anti-ICE Protesters! givesendgo.dcom/supportdfwprotestors (Information current as of July 10th 2025) On July 4th Ten people were arrested and are being held in Johnson County Detention Center in Cleburne, TX on $10 million bail each—accused of trying to liberate an ICE concentration camp, called Praireland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas. The FBI is raiding homes across Dallas - Fort Worth, targeting parents, supporters & jail support volunteers. On July 6th An 11th person was arrested just for receiving a call from a loved one from jail. He wasn’t at the protest. He had a box of zines in his car—now being used as “evidence.” the FBI have turned him over to ICE to jeopardize his green card status. This is political repression, and it’s not getting the attention it deserves. One defendant’s child has also been arrested. Federal officials and the right-wing media are pushing dangerous and misleading narratives. We know the police lie, and the media echoes them. Everyone resisting ICE deserves our support — legal, financial, and material. These are prisoners of war, and we need to stand with them in unwavering solidarity!
