“Prosecutors in the case charged and secured conviction of eight of the nine defendants for providing material support for terrorists. The ninth defendant, Daniel Sanchez-Estrada was not at the protest, but was convicted of corruptly concealing a document or record after prosecutors said he moved leftwing zines and other materials at the request of Rueda, his wife, after she was arrested. Sanchez-Estrada was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Tuesday.”
I don’t know the details but it sounds like a concealment charge, which again isn’t much of a thing unless you’re falsely charged with terrorism. It’s not so much the zines as the association-- but 30 years is again, obviously bullshit.
I can’t look into specifics now, but is that one able to appeal? I recall it’s the odd case of the 9.

That said, just to clarify those who only read the headline: this isn’t the administration just targeting political opponents and calling them antifa to get them arrested. They got arrested for crimes like vandalism and assault and the antifa terrorism crap was tagged on.
It sounds an awful lot like this is the administration just targeting political opponents by calling them antifa to get them arrested.
One of them got 30 years for distributing pamphlets.
You’re referring to this part?
