Federal Agents Arrest Another Person in Prairieland Case, Bringing Total Number of Defendants to 18 (USA)

Posted on 2025/10/25 by darknights

The Arrest Comes More Than Three Months After July 4 Immigrant Solidarity Protest and Less Than a Month After Felony Charges Were Brought Against Johnson County Sheriff Adam King, Who Is Directly Involved in the Prairieland Case

DALLAS-FORT WORTH, TX — In an early morning raid yesterday, federal agents arrested another person in connection with a July 4 protest at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center. More than three months after the protest, Janette Goering was arrested by federal and local police at her home in Carrollton, Texas, on Tuesday, October 21. Goering is being held at Johnson County Jail on a state charge of aiding in the commission of terrorism and has a bond set at $5 million.

Goering’s arrest continues a trend of escalation by police and prosecutors in a case that now involves 18 defendants. The government is using exorbitant bonds of up to $15 million to imprison all but one of the defendants. “It’s unbelievable that more than three months later the state is still trying to widen the net in this case,” said a spokesperson for the DFW Support Committee, a group of family and loved ones of defendants. “They’re attempting to prosecute this as an “Antifa” case in order to terrorize the movement in solidarity with immigrants, but it’s not going to work.”

The case has been hailed by the Trump administration as the first legal case against “Antifa.” On October 15, federal charges were formally brought against two of the Prairieland defendants, Autumn Hill and Zachary Evetts; the charges include 1 count of providing material support to terrorists, 3 counts of attempted murder of officers and employees of the United States, and 3 counts of discharging a firearm during, in relation to, and in furtherance of a crime of violence. FBI director Kash Patel called the defendants “Antifa-aligned anarchist violent extremists,” sharing Fox News coverage of the indictments on X. “This seems like a coordinated political campaign,” said Stephanie Shiver, wife of defendant Meagan Morris. “The feds didn’t do anything for months and then they bring everyone into court just days after Trump designated ‘Antifa’ a priority threat.” On September 25, the White House released the National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 (NSPM-7), which ordered all federal law enforcement agencies to prioritize combating “Antifa” as a domestic terrorism threat.

Anarchist comrade Eat kidnapped by the police and held incommunicado (Indonesia)

Posted on 2025/10/02 - 2025/10/02 by darknights

After the uprising in August 2025, the Indonesian state is weakened and looks for scapegoats. On the 23rd of September, the bastards claimed another one and kidnapped comrade Eat. Eat is a wellknown anarchist who had spent time in prison on several occasions, such as for armed robbery and an incendiary attacks against a bank. His ex-girlfriend, Anzi Matta, snitched on him and that’s why he got caught, according to police. The cops seized his laptop and phone, so that will be part of his case buildup. The police bastards are holding him incommunicado, like the rest of the anarchists. Right now he’s being held at the West Java Regional Police Station in Bandung. That’s where many comrades are held. We don’t know what official charges and accusations they will hit him with. We do know that he was being publicly accused of being the leader of the anarchist “Star of Chaos” variant in Indonesia, in connection with the riots last August. We have not heard about such a leader of anarchists, let alone nihilists, before. Nor have we heard of any such formal network of chaotics yet. Evidence of cops is simply, possession of flag or items, zines, musics, social media profile, participation or not in the riots, in many cases it appears, to try to legitimate the use of the anti-terrorist laws. At first sight seems like another absurd and fantastical concoction of the anti-terrorist unit, such as the lie that international funding of $500,000 created the revolt. This is part of the Indonesian state trying to change the narrative. Across the region our currents and tendencies grow. Their future is finished, anarchism is the narrative.

We know that according to the news circulating in Indonesia, after arresting 42 people accused of being part of egoist/insurrectionist cells, the police were pursuing Eat because he was also suspected of being a fundraiser, working on prisoner solidarity and connected to international anarchists, that is, he maintained friendships across borders. The police try to weaken the anarchist resolve by blaming snitches and creating anarcho-phantasms, but we know they lie and use torture. What we know is that the police are spreading that the former partner of Eat, Anzi Matta, helped them with information that lead to the arrest of Eat in Makassar, and he was brought to the West Java Regional Police in Bandung on 23rd September, where he remains.

Direct Action at Indonesian embassies, corporate interests and related.

Prairieland Defendants Press Release – Sept 24/2025

Posted on 2025/09/26 - 2025/09/26 by darknights

Prairieland Defendants Arraigned in Fort Worth Federal Court
Defendants Remain in Custody on up to $10 Million Bonds for Unindicted Charges

September 24th, 2025

DALLAS-FORT WORTH, TX — Defendants arrested in connection with the widely-covered July 4th protest at the Prairieland Immigration Detention Center were arraigned on Monday and Tuesday at the federal courthouse in Fort Worth. The arraignments came after nearly three months without movement by the prosecution and marks an important milestone in one of the most significant protest-related legal cases at a time of rising public dissent against Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

Currently, 17 people are facing charges ranging from attempted murder to obstruction of justice following a protest that defendants and supporters are confident was not planned to be violent. The police allege that shots were fired by one person, injuring an officer; this single allegation has expanded to accusations the defendants were involved in a vast conspiracy. “The police are clearly using this as an opportunity to criminalize protest against ICE detentions and deportations,” said Stephanie Shiver, wife of defendant Meagan Morris. “Their narrative is ridiculous and unbelievable.” Continue reading “Prairieland Defendants Press Release – Sept 24/2025” →

Important Information from Indonesia for International Comrades

Posted on 2025/09/21 by darknights

Indonesia, September 18, 2025, by XIII-XII.

After the mass action that took place at the end of August and early
September, a wave of mass arrests followed, with thousands of people
being detained across various cities in Indonesia — both post-action
arrests and sweeps from those already arrested. Even now, various
anti-authoritarian groups in Indonesia are experiencing widespread
paranoia, which is understandable for some people due to the state’s
cyber operations aimed at mapping both formal and informal
anti-authoritarian cells. Several collective and individual names have
already been collected, which only adds to the paranoid climate that
continues to persist. Some refer to this as “going underground,” or even
as an individual safety method, to later continue efforts for solidarity
with comrades who have been designated as suspects. The state has
labeled anarchists as the masterminds behind all the mass actions that
took place in various cities. For example, in Bandung, the authorities
have designated 42 protesters as suspects, and in Jakarta, 16 people
have been labeled as suspects. This doesn’t even account for other
cities that have not yet been verified. All those who are detained face
obstacles in accessing legal assistance, and torture is not spared
during interrogation and examination. Continue reading “Important Information from Indonesia for International Comrades” →

Italy: Arrests and search operations between Pisa and the Apuan Alps in relation to the 2023 attack on the Pisa courthouse

Posted on 2025/09/16 by darknights

ARRESTS AND SEARCH OPERATIONS BETWEEN PISA AND THE APUAN ALPS IN RELATION TO THE 2023 ATTACK ON THE PISA COURTHOUSE (ITALY)

On the morning of 11 September, a police operation coordinated by the DDAA [District Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism Directorate] in the main city of Tuscany and conducted by the DIGOS [General Investigations and Special Operations Division] in Pisa and Florence took place in the municipalities of Carrara, Montignoso, Pisa and Sarzana. The operation appears to have been named “Delivery”.

According to our information, two anarchist comrades who are subject to a preventive custody order under house arrest (it is not yet known if there are any particular restrictions; updates will follow) were arrested in Pisa and Carrara. The comrades – who were already searched on 26 March in relation to the same acts – are under investigation for “terrorist acts involving lethal or explosive devices” and other related crimes. This is part of the proceedings concerning the attack on the Pisa courthouse on 21 February 2023. We would also like to point out that the comrades were involved in the 2023 “Scripta Scelera” operation, which was orchestrated by the Genoa DDAA against the internationalist anarchist fortnightly journal “Bezmotivny” (and which was essentially “shipwrecked” during the trial held in Massa against four defendants).

According to the latest information, the other comrades involved in this operation were only searched at home and in their vehicles. This was also in relation to the crime of “subversive association with the purpose of terrorism or subversion of the democratic order”.

Every day, in every court, hundreds of exploited people are sentenced. By means of sentences, men and women are buried in prisons and their friendships and love relationships are mutilated. By means of explosives, structures will be hit and men of power will be mutilated. For every death at sea, in prison, at work, in the CPRs, not one, but 100 bombs against the masters. Your cameras and guards patrolling the city will never be enough to prevent action from penetrating your buildings”, read the statement of claim by Gruppo di Solidarietà Rivoluzionaria – Consegne a Domicilio [Revolutionary Solidarity Group – Home Deliveries] (joining the FAI-FRI), concerning the action against the court. This action was part of an intense mobilisation against 41 bis prison regime and life imprisonment without parole, and was carried out in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, who was on hunger strike for over 120 days at the time. “Solidarity with all revolutionary prisoners around the world. Support social struggles with revolutionary struggle”, the text concluded.

UPDATE: The comrades are under house arrest with all restrictions (no communication or visits allowed).

Java, Indonesia: Comrade arrested and accused of running anarchist counter info site

A comrade in Java has been arrested and accused of adminstrating ‘blackbloczone‘ ,an Indonesian focused anarchist website, a few days ago. The comrade is still being detained. The media scum have been up to their old tricks of degenerating our comrades’ name. Fire to the prisons! Free the comrade.

Bremen, Germany: In Rage and Solidarity with the Uprising in Indonesia

Attack on the Indonesian Honorary Consulate in Bremen. Against the rise of militarism and neo-fascism in Indonesia and everywhere!

On September 7, 2025, at around 2:15 a.m., we attacked the Indonesian Honorary Consulate in Überseestadt, Bremen, with paint fire extinguishers. With the slogan “Tantang Tirani!¹” we disappeared into the night.

On August 25, massive protests and unrest began in many parts of the Indonesian archipelago, triggered by the planned massive increase in salaries for the parliamentary elite. The protests were militant from the outset, but after the cops ran over and killed 21-year-old delivery worker Affan Kurniawan on August 28, the protests exploded into a massive uprising. Delivery workers, anarchists, and youth looted and burned down police stations, politicians’ homes, and government buildings. President Prabowo Subianto deployed the military, and at least six people have been killed by police and military forces so far.

Indonesia: ‘FUCK THEM ALL’ EN/ES

Posted on 2025/09/09 - 2025/09/09 by darknights

FUCK THEM ALL.

Last night, our friend Pem got snatched by the pigs, and we still don’t know what charges they’ll throw at him. This morning, they’re out there in the media, trying to make a spectacle of mass arrests, calling us “provocateurs” and “outside agitators.” And they’re naming names—our names.

The usual traitor of this post-indrustrial capitalism such as “leftists,” the NGOs, and even the so-called anarchists have betrayed us by becoming the echo chamber of State narratives. They’re dancing in the state’s echo chamber, spreading their lies and slander. They’re parroting the ruling class narrative, blaming the rioters, blaming anyone who dares use insurrectionary tactics to tear down this civilization. The same people who once claimed solidarity now help the state track us down, label us as criminals or outside agitator, and destroy everything we’ve fought for. They even parroting the same narrative of “rioters caused the death of several people”. Yes this you Page Against the Machine. Are you glad now for the massive arrest? YOU ALSO DONT DO SHIT WHEN THE POLICE KILLED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN A FOOTBALL STADIUM. YOUR ILLITERATE ARGUMENT CLEARLY SHOWS THE LIMITATION OF YOUR NANO BRAIN.

Page Against the Machine? (this self-proclaimed anarchist publisher seems to have more than just personal sentiment towards insurrectionary tactics. You know what? FUCK YOU AND YOUR MORALITY. You’ve become nothing more than state-funded hacks. You’ve lost the plot. You’re not anti-authoritarian—you’re just another cog in the machine, shilling for the status quo. Stop blaming the justified anger of the public—especially when that anger stems from real tragedies, like accidental deaths—not from people attacking each other. Don’t twist the truth to suit your image. Keep selling your so-called radical books and posing as a rebellious musician, saying stupid things on stage—but know this: we’re done with fakes like you. We see through it now.

Now, they’re hunting us down. They’re digging through our words, our actions, and our identities to silence us. They think by naming us, by locking us up, by calling us criminals, they can stop the insurrection. But this is far bigger than them. We’re not here to play by their
rules.

Fuck the state. Fuck their cops. Fuck their media. Fuck their NGOs. All of you who sit comfortably in your homes, watching from your screens, pretending to give a shit—you’re part of the problem. You enable this civilization, this industrial system, this death culture, and now you’ve thrown us into the firing line. You don’t get to call yourselves anarchists if you’re backing the very structure that oppresses us.

We are the problem. The pigs are terrified of us because we stand against the very foundations of this system, this world. They want to destroy us? Fine. Let them try. But we won’t stop. We won’t be silent. We won’t go back into the cages they’ve built for us.

FUCK YOU. We’re just getting started.

– Anarchists

ABC Indonesia: International call for solidarity to the arrested, disappeared and killed in the ongoing uprising

Posted on 2025/09/03 - 2025/09/03 by darknights

Palang Hitam / ABC Indonesia asks if it is possible to organise solidarity demonstration/action at the Indonesian embassies in foreign countries. We ask comrades from various countries for help.

The mass uprising in Indonesia is facing severe repression. Dozens of people are confirmed missing, at least 6 people have been killed. Many are injured. Thousands of people have been arrested. Police have been attacking the universities. Police and army check points are setting up everywhere. Many people are being arrested for live streamings and counter-info blogs and social medias are being tracked and comrades arrested. NGOs, liberal/left unions and student union stewards are helping the repression.

Solidarity is our weapon
