Six Face Up to 15 Years in Texas Protest Case | San Antonio News

Six protesters face heavy sentences in Texas after a July Fourth shooting near an immigrant detention center, with federal prosecutors blaming Antifa and charging them with terrorism-related offenses. While eight others already received lengthy prison terms—including a former Marine facing 100 years—the six on today’s sentencing list pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists, risking up to 15 years each. Defense teams argue the protest was a peaceful, self-defense-oriented demonstration with fireworks, not an attack, warning that the government’s charges could stifle free speech. One defendant, Ines Soto, could face up to 60 years after being convicted on multiple charges, while his wife also received a conviction. Legal experts are closely watching as this case could set a precedent for protest rights nationwide.
