Summary
Federal prosecutors have filed an indictment related to a July 4 protest outside an ICE detention facility in Texas where a police officer was shot. The indictment includes charges against Dallas artist Daniel 'Des' Sanchez, who wasn't present at the protest, for allegedly transporting a box containing anarchist literature. Free speech advocates argue this represents a First Amendment attack, as the charges appear to criminalize possession of political materials.
