Anti-ICE protesters sentenced to decades in prison

Season 2026 Episode 130 | 5m 24s

In two federal courts, a group of protesters received unusually long sentences after the Justice Department accused them of being members of Antifa. These nine protesters were arrested after they demonstrated outside a migrant detention facility in Texas. During the protest, a police officer was shot. Justice correspondent Ali Rogin discussed more with former federal prosecutor Paul Butler.
