Trump’s Communist Boogeyman Playbook: Charging Protesters as Terrorists

The article discusses the sentencing of eight anti-ICE activists involved in a protest outside the Prairieland Detention Facility in Texas, resulting in prison terms ranging from 30 to 100 years. These individuals were labeled by the government as 'antifa' operatives and faced terrorism-related charges. Reporter Matt Sledge criticizes the Justice Department's claims, noting a disconnect between official statements and the evidence presented during trials. Author Mark Bray argues that the Trump administration uses 'antifa' as a scare tactic to suppress dissent, similar to historical use of 'Communist' as a boogeyman. The case is seen as part of a broader strategy to criminalize opposition to ICE and the Trump administration, with potential implications for other protests. The article highlights concerns over the misuse of terrorism charges and the impact on civil liberties.
