He wasn't even at the night of the incident. He's just moving documents out. What a load of bollacks.

Maybe he was just moving crap out of the trunk to make room for groceries.

And even if he was nothing happened there which would warrant such a long prison sentence. This is them criminalising political opposition. It is literally fascism in action.

yes, and these documents where evidence in a case. The title is misleading

Sanchez-Estrada was not present the night of July 4, 2025, when a group of protesters arrived at the Prairieland Detention Center outside of Dallas to set off fireworks and signal solidarity with the immigrant detainees held inside. But his wife, Maricela Rueda, was present and subsequently arrested after the demonstration turned violent. Rueda later called Sanchez-Estrada from the Johnston County Jail and told him to do "whatever you need to do" and "move whatever you need to move at the house," according to the criminal complaint.

Yeah, that doesn't make him a terrorist. Maybe 1 night in jail for contempt of court
