In Texas, seven more people were sentenced to prison on terrorism charges for attending a protest outside the Prairieland ICE jail last July Fourth, during which fireworks were set off and a police officer was shot and wounded. All but one of the defendants sentenced Wednesday had pleaded guilty. They were handed down sentences ranging from two and 15 years in prison. The final defendant, Ines Soto, was convicted of providing material support to terrorists and other charges, and sentenced to 50 years in prison. This comes just weeks after eight other defendants who were convicted at trial were given unusually harsh, decadeslong prison terms, including former Marine reservist Benjamin Song, who was sentenced to 100 years behind bars.
