On this edition of Your Call's Media Roundtable, we're discussing the harsh prison sentences handed down to nine Texas anti-ICE protesters convicted on terrorism-related charges.

On March 13, the jury convicted all nine defendants on a variety of charges, ranging from providing material support to terrorists to attempted murder. They were sentenced to between 30 and 100 years in federal prison.

The ruling could have far-reaching consequences for activists, protesters and NGOs that have aligned themselves in any way with anti-fascist organizing.
