Demonizing Antifa: Federal Prosecutions Target Radical Organizers

Matthew N Lyons

With the court cases against the Prairieland ICE protesters and the Minnesota 15, the Trump administration has ratcheted up its authoritarian power drive. The regime is trying to criminalize radical politics and grassroots organizing, as a cornerstone of its campaign to suppress all political dissent.
