Summary
A federal jury convicted eight of nine anti-ICE protesters on terrorism charges for their roles in a chaotic demonstration outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility. The trial, which resulted in mixed verdicts with some defendants spared attempted murder counts, is seen as a potential bellwether for the Trump administration's crackdown on left-wing groups. The convictions could encourage prosecutors to bring more such charges, with the FBI indicating it now treats certain protest activities as domestic terrorism.
