Last year, on July 4, Antifa militants mounted an attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Texas. Next week, a jury trial tied to the attack will open, marking the first time Antifa will be challenged in court following the Trump administration's labeling of the group as a domestic terrorist organization.

From Hoodline:

A federal jury trial tied to the July 4 attack at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado is set to open next Tuesday in Fort Worth, and it will put encrypted chat logs and the presence of rifles at protests squarely under the microscope. Prosecutors say a so?called "North Texas Antifa Cell" orchestrated a coordinated ambush that wounded an Alvarado police officer. Defense lawyers counter that their clients showed up for an immigrant?solidarity noise demonstration that spiraled out of control. ... Federal prosecutors have charged nine people with counts that include providing material support for terrorism, attempted murder and discharging firearms in relation to a crime of violence...

According to Hoodline, the defense plans to argue that the actions of the accused Antifa militants fall under protected protest, despite the fact that those actions left an officer wounded. Many on the defense's side also argue that a prosecution victory here could "chill protest" and encourage "broad reading of terrorism laws."

This case is significant because it is the first case brought against Antifa since President Trump labeled the group a domestic terrorist organization in September of last year. As such, the verdict in this case will likely determine the future of Antifa in America. A ruling in favor of the prosecution would likely make this case the first of many, as the Trump administration would be quick to charge prominent Antifa activists and hold them accountable. A ruling in favor of the defense, however, may embolden Antifa militants to continue with their destructive, dangerous form of "protest."
