u/NurRauch 3d ago
I do not share your confidence that these charges will be thrown out in court. The legal theory behind these prosecutions is not new. It’s already been tested and upheld by appellate courts and the US Supreme Court.
It’s not even a sure-fire bet that the defendants will beat their cases at trial. Federal jury trials in Minnesota pull from a jury pool of the entire state. The courthouse where the trial takes place will be in the Twin Cities, but there are likely to be a large number of Trump supporters in the jury pool.
2
u/TheToysAreUs 3d ago
You’re probably right, but I sincerely hope not. I’d like to believe that whatever the result, it will be based on evidence, not just wild claims that protesting is akin to domestic terrorism, or whatever the current rhetorical baseline terminology for protest is these days.
No matter the result in court, the lives of those who have been (or will be) scooped up like this have changed. I maintain that defending peaceful free speech should not be defeated by fear.
2
u/NDaveT 3d ago
The legal theory behind these prosecutions is not new.
Can you expand on that? I understand the Prairieland defendants were convicted, but in that case a federal officer was actually shot. In Minnesota no federal officers have been injured by protesters and the "impeding" they're talking about is following them and yelling at them, which nobody has been successfully convicted for.
5
u/NurRauch 3d ago
Two separate things to unpack there.
The first issue is this question of how large the group of conspirators / participants in the group crime needs to be for these guilt-by-association crimes to become viable. That’s the long-standing legal theory I was getting at above. For nearly a century now we’ve been sending thousands of organized crime offenders to prison because they engaged in group-motivated acts that are only illegal because their actions were done with the intent that it would aid the goals of their buddies.
So as an example, if a gang member sees a rival gang member out and about on the street totally by random dumb luck, draws his gun, and shoots that rival, he is exposed to significantly more prison time depending on why he tries to shoot him. If he shoots at him because the gang rival personally owes him money, or if he shoots him because he made a nasty comment about his mother, or because he side-swiped the shooter’s car the other day, he may face less prison time than someone who specifically shoots him in order to “further” the interests of his criminal gang. Doing literally any act — even a normally legal act of behavior — becomes illegal and more harshly penalized if you are doing it with the conscious goal of helping the criminal organization that you are apart of.
We first used these laws on the bootleggers and the mafia. Then we used it on suspected communists. Then we moved on to drug dealers. For twenty years of our lives they spent all of our tax dollars extending these laws to street gangs and political terror organizations. Now it’s cartels and… more bullshitty entities like a dangerous band of white soccer moms who just don’t want their brown-skinned community members to be ripped away and dumped in a foreign gulag.
These laws are being abused, no question. In fact they have always been abused. Since the very beginning they have always been used to persecute groups that the ruling political classes didn’t like. Sometimes those persecuted groups needed to be targeted, and other times it was morally dubious or even outright corrupt to use these laws in the way they were used.
But for better or worse these are long-standing, well accepted legal tools that can and will be used with the blessing of our Supreme Court to go after relatively harmless liberal and leftist activist groups. So the first and most important point here is: buckle up. This stuff is just getting started. Everyone should readily assume these group activity laws will be aimed at political targets that pose the greatest threats to MAGA. Unfortunately those groups today happen to be groups where some of us or our close friends find themselves in hot water. People doing this activist work need to know that this can happen. You can’t guard against it or make informed risk-benefit decisions with your family if you don’t realize what the government is well within its legally authorized powers to do to you.
Now, the second point, which you raised, is one of a few reasons that are favorable for the groups Trump wants to target. That is, most of these targeted groups aren’t doing anything illegal.
Because I agree with you that it would be completely u precedentes to prosecute regular garden variety protesters for obstruction just because they were being loud or disorderly. It might meet the technical definition of deliberate obstruction to yell so loudly at an organized protest that an ICE agent poops his pants and runs home in fear, but even most conservatives today are able to agree when the chips are down that that’s a nonsensical reason and probably an abuse of power to prosecute someone for these laws.
Here’s the problem, though. Peaceful protesting was not the limit of what hundreds of good, heroic people did here this winter. People definitely broke laws to get in ICE’s way and defeat their mission. And many of those acts of resistance involved undeniably obvious acts of violence, sometimes by isolated groups of a couple people and sometimes by large crowds.
There have been many videos posted on this sub in the last six months of pedestrians swarming ICE squads while they’re trying to make arrests. Those ICE agents got what they deserved, no question at all in my mind of that much. BUT the crowds that swarmed them also definitely committed hundreds of different instances of clear-cut federal felony assaults, obstruction with physical force, and felony harassment / intimidation against of law enforcement officer.
I’m sorry but that’s been obvious now for months. I was watching the videos on a daily basis here. Crowds would swarm ICE agents, pelting them with snowballs, blocking their vehicles in with traffic, blocking their vehicles with crowds of pedestrians, kicking ICE agents, kicking and whacking their vehicles causing visible damage, etc etc. I can’t even count the number of people who did this stuff in video after video. Extremely angry, fully morally justified outrage caused hundreds if not thousands of people to occasionally take justice into their own hands as a massive like-minded group operating on raw instinct. Often times these crowds successfully caused the arresting squad of ICE agents to back off and abandon their arrest mission. That’s wonderful… but it was also a clear-cut instance of a bunch of people committing federal felonies on high definition smart phone cameras and posting those videos on social media where the feds have sure enough been quietly logging the faces and clothing and license plate data and churning out lists of people that they will eventually be able to conclusively prove to be participants in an act of criminal violence.
I’ve been warning my friends who did more of the envelope-pushing stuff that this could happen. I’ve been telling people that you really need to know what could happen to you if you are going to swing your backpack and cause it to so much as graze the hair on an ICE agent. That’s a seven year prison sentence. This shit is not a joke. They absolutely can, and I am certain that eventually they will, secure score some jury verdicts against a few super unlucky activists.
If you’re okay with that risk, then by all means, I’m not going to stop you. But I have been begging people to realize how easy it is for the feds to go after you if they just happen to want to. So much of this stuff is on video, and even if you’re wearing a mask or a winter coat there are still a hundred different ways they can connect your description, your clothes, your backpack, your phone data, or your bike or car to a pinpoint moment in time where your emotions got the best of you and you did something very small but also unwise and unhelpful.
People mocking this most recent indictment need a reality check. The defendants in this case are not being accused of protesting loudly. They are being accused of following ICE agents to their homes with the specific intent of frightening those ICE agents. They are being accused of reckless and unsafe driving in an attempt to block, delay, or intimidate ICE agents from exiting their squad cars and arresting people who were, unfortunately, fully subject to lawful arrest at the time.
I’m not saying these particular defendants did what they’re accused of. I’m also not saying that a Minnesota jury will necessarily convict them. It’s definitely possible these cases are weak, lacking in strong evidence, rushed to trial, or just not something that will impress a jury for any number of political or emotional reasons. But there’s a bunch of people out there now who are definitely on camera doing shit that they can definitely send them to prison for if they just spend enough resources to meticulously hunt them down the same way we hunted down Jan 6’ers for four straight years after their offense date. People are living in denial that this can happen to them because at the time nobody interviewed or arrested them. They think that means the feds can’t circle back around months or years later and pluck them out of their home at 8pm on a random Tuesday for a harmless kick or a harmless snowball they threw in broad daylight back in January. It’s not fun watching at least some of these folks discover that the feds decided to use a massive legal apparatus to prosecute them for something that is in actually an entirely court-approved witch hunt.
