Twelve More People Federally Charged in the July 4 Prairieland ICE Detention Center Protest Case

Majority of Defendants Expected to Enter ‘Not Guilty’ Pleas December 3, Refusing Early Plea Offer of Up To 15 Years in Prison

DALLAS-FORT WORTH, TX — Twelve people were federally charged late last week in connection with the immigrant solidarity demonstration at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center on July 4, 2025. The new indictment and charges, including rioting, attempted murder, and material support for terrorism, came as a majority of defendants are expected to plead not guilty on December 3. Notably, federal prosecutors are offering early plea deals with recommended sentences of up to 15 years in prison.

A number of defendants could plead guilty in the coming days as a result of pressure by the federal government. The terms of the plea agreements have not been made public, but some defendants are refusing to cooperate against their codefendants. Historically, in politically motivated cases, defendants who take federal plea deals that involve cooperating with the government against their codefendants have not necessarily received more lenient sentences, and may not lessen the potential legal harm stemming from their corresponding State cases.

“The prosecution is grasping at straws,” said National Lawyers Guild member Kris Hermes. “Plea deals offered this early show the government is desperate for a quick conviction that fits their nonsense ‘Antifa’ narrative. This case is a shoddy attempt to terrorize the movement in solidarity with immigrants, but it’s not going to work.”

The defendants who were federally charged last week were added to the case of Autumn Hill and Zachary Evetts, who were federally indicted last month. US District Court Judge Mark Pittman granted the government’s motion earlier in November to designate the Prairieland case as “complex”, thereby delaying the trials of Hill and Evetts, which were scheduled to start later this month. Another defendant, Daniel Sanchez-Estrada was previously indicted separately and has now been added to this case, and his trial has been delayed from early December, as originally scheduled. It’s now unclear when Hill, Evetts, Sanchez-Estrada, and the other defendants will go to trial.

Rome, Italy: Claim of responsibility for the incendiary attack on 17 cars at the Tesla dealership

Claim of responsibility for the incendiary attack on 17 cars at the Tesla dealership (Rome, March 31, 2025)

Few people in the world, nowadays, embody absolute Evil like the infamous entrepreneur and billionaire technocrat Elon Musk. It would be reductive, however, to consider him a classic cartoon “villain”, a character that would fit him like a glove, without realizing that this despicable individual is only the product of an economic and social system that marches towards its own self-destruction and that his expansionist aims symbolically summarize those of the system itself.

Officially entering the field of politics, all this is exemplified in his servility towards Trump, who has placed him in the front row of the reactionary, imperialist, sexist and supremacist offensive underway in the United States. Specifically, as a reward for his billionaire support for the electoral campaign, the newly elected president has awarded his favorite Dark Maga the leadership of DOGE, an ad hoc body that has quickly busied itself on cuts and reforms aimed at directly or indirectly affecting that slice of the population that is recognized by the new elite as “surplus”.

As for the companies he manages or founded, however, there are many examples to give

Neuralink is a startup that aims to create a system of neural interfaces that connect the human brain with artificial intelligence; he claims to have implanted his first brain chip, called Telepathy, in January 2024. The transhumanist dream that becomes reality, the utopia of the suppression of the “defective” components of humanity through human-machine integration, the creation of those efficient gears that technocratic capitalism has and will always badly need.

OpenAI, a company founded by Musk as an artificial intelligence research laboratory, has produced the first famous chatbot in history: ChatGPT. After abandoning its leadership due to a potential conflict of interest with its role in the development of AI for self-driving Teslas in 2023, he founded a rival startup, xAI, which has the stated purpose of training a generative artificial intelligence chatbot (Grok) that automatically learns to respond racistly, against the woke culture of which ChatGPT would be an expression.
In turn, through xAI Musk has recently purchased the X platform himself, the former instant messaging service called Twitter, well exemplifying the use of social media as a tool for algorithmic manipulation of public opinion for the most vulgar political purposes, as well as revealing in a now indisputable way the use of social media as an inexhaustible source of data for the use and consumption of AI BigTechs.

U$A: US Seeks Execution of Luigi Mangione, Accused CEO Assassin

Posted on 2025/04/07 - 2025/04/07 by darknights

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has instructed the Justice Department to pursue the death penalty against Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old man accused of assassinating the UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who publicly ran one of the most barbaric institutions in the country.

“After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again,” Bondi said in a statement.

Mangione faces federal and state criminal charges in Thompson’s death early Dec. 4 outside a hotel in New York City. Bondi’s announcement would affect only Mangione’s federal case, in which he’s accused of murdering Thompson through the use of a firearm, as well as of stalking the health care executive.

In Mangione’s state case, he faces multiple murder charges, including a count of committing murder as an act of terrorism. Mangione has pleaded not guilty in the state case, and his next appearance is scheduled for late June. Pretrial proceedings in his federal case have been delayed until at least April 18 based on an agreement between his lawyers and prosecutors.

Mangione’s lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, called the move by the Justice Department “political” and said in a statement that Mangione will fight the charges against him.

“We are prepared to fight these federal charges, brought by a lawless Justice Department, as well as the New York State charges, and the Pennsylvania charges, and anything else they want to pile on Luigi,” the statement said. “This is a corrupt web of government dysfunction and one-upmanship. Luigi is caught in a high-stakes game of tug-of-war between state and federal prosecutors, except the trophy is a young man’s life.”

Mangione draws public support

In his role as CEO of UnitedHealthcare, Thompson ran a nationwide health insurance company that regularly denied people of basic coverage, and likely ended thousands of people’s lives for profit.

These corporate institutions have become increasingly brazen and barbaric as the the wealth in the country is consolidated in fewer and fewer hands.

After the assassination of the exploiter, Thompson, a dayslong search for a suspect in his killing and the subsequent arrest of Mangione at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, sparked massive public support from most the society.

“Luigi really wanted to thank the supporters for being here, and we all appreciate it very much,” Karen Friedman Agnifilo, a lawyer for Mangione, said outside of court after a February proceeding in a New York state court.

Court records unveiled last week said Mangione had received a pair of notes while in custody telling him to keep his “head held high” and that “there are thousands of people wishing you luck.” Mangione has requested a laptop to review discovery, which prosecutors have opposed.

The support Mangione has seen in some quarters sparked fear for other insurance companies, which beefed up their security. In bringing potentially harsh penalties against the 26-year-old, prosecutors have signaled they want to send a message when it comes to potential violence motivated by blatant injustice. The state intends to maintain the status quo at all costs, as it continues to participate in what amounts to a public killing spree of its citizens through the health industry.

“The murder was an act of political violence,” the Justice Department said in a news release accompanying the announcement. “Mangione’s actions involved substantial planning and premeditation and because the murder took place in public with bystanders nearby, may have posed grave risk of death to additional persons.”
