Anti-ICE Protestors Convicted of Terrorism 4 Wearing Black

Sunday, March 15, 2026

The same defendants were also convicted of riot and two explosives charges related to the fireworks. Hill, Evetts, Morris, and Rueda were acquitted on attempted murder charges that would have carried sentences up to life imprisonment.

"The widely watched trial could serve as a bellwether as President Donald Trump's administration seeks to crack down on left-wing groups " and the convictions could encourage prosecutors to bring more such charges.

A top FBI official said in December that the agency is now treating "antifa" as a major domestic terror threat.

The Trump administration celebrated the verdict.

"Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization that has been allowed to flourish in Democrat-led cities " not under President Trump," said Attorney General Pamela Bondi.

"Today's verdict on terrorism charges will not be the last as the Trump administration systematically dismantles Antifa and finally halts their violence on America's streets."

For literally decades, the DHS and the FBI have said that the vast majority of Domestic Terrorism has been perpetrated by far rwing White Nationalists.

Which, btw, includes the Proud Boys that Trump told to, "Stand back and Stand by" before he Pardoned them.

Possibly.

This case is not a simple one.

But, now, AG Bondi should also go after the real domestic terrorism threat we face ...
