Eight protesters convicted in connection with a July 4 shooting outside a Texas immigration detention center were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 30 to 100 years. Federal prosecutors described the attack, which wounded a police officer, as an act of terrorism and alleged the defendants had ties to ANTIFA. Family members and defense attorneys condemned the lengthy sentences, arguing the defendants did not intend for anyone to be harmed and warning the case could have broader implications for protest rights and free speech.
