Peacefully protesting government policies should not carry the threat of spending decades behind bars. Yet protesters accused of demonstrating outside the Prairieland ICE Detention Center now face federal charges that could result in sentences of up to 30 years. Treating protest like organized crime is a dangerous attack on free speech and the right to dissent. These extreme charges don't just threaten the people arrested—they send a chilling message to anyone who dares to speak out. When prosecutors seek decades in prison for protest-related conduct, they risk turning the justice system into a tool for intimidating political activism instead of protecting the public. Add your name today to demand that federal prosecutors drop these excessive charges and defend the constitutional right to peaceful protest.
