Texas Protest Shooting Sentencing | Roanoke News

Judges deliver brutal sentences in a Texas immigration protest shooting case, with a former Marine facing 100 years after prosecutors labeled the protest an “assault on democracy.” Eight demonstrators were recently convicted on terrorism charges, and six more plead guilty to supporting terrorists, facing up to 15 years — including one who admitted to spray-painting guard vehicles. Prosecutors cite weapons and gear as evidence of intent, while defense teams argue the protest was peaceful and firearms were for self-defense. Civil liberties groups watch closely as the case threatens to reshape protest rights in America.
