Wasn't it 30 days for the deal Ken Paxton (Texas attorney general, running for higher office too I think) made for his buddy? Nothing like being tough on crime and protecting the children. Okay I googled, guy was.Adam Hoffman, and didn't have to register as a sex offender even.
Crap they really took 'wont someone please think of the children' line too literally.
Maybe something I missed for the 30 days but still, Ken Paxton is attorney general and let the guy off with a slap on the wrist. Good going tough on crime party. Maybe next time you can let him browse an elementary school sleepover rather than let his indictments sit stale. Oddly he's been under indictment but protected due position. Funny that. Course Texas would never fucking vote Democrat maybe let some bad folk in.
And even if he was nothing happened there which would warrant such a long prison sentence. This is them criminalising political opposition. It is literally fascism in action.
yes, and these documents where evidence in a case. The title is misleading
Sanchez-Estrada was not present the night of July 4, 2025, when a group of protesters arrived at the Prairieland Detention Center outside of Dallas to set off fireworks and signal solidarity with the immigrant detainees held inside. But his wife, Maricela Rueda, was present and subsequently arrested after the demonstration turned violent. Rueda later called Sanchez-Estrada from the Johnston County Jail and told him to do "whatever you need to do" and "move whatever you need to move at the house," according to the criminal complaint.
Even the possibility for a judge to give this case such a sentence, legally speaking, is insane. USA might be one of the most fucked up countries in the world.

Meanwhile child rapists get off with 90 days.
Make it make sense.

You mean they get off with more children and the presidency on top.

He probably didn't pay a big enough bribe or he would have got 30 days.

Only one challenges power and those who the "crime and punishment" system is made to serve.

He wasn't even at the night of the incident. He's just moving documents out. What a load of bollacks.

Yeah, that doesn't make him a terrorist. Maybe 1 night in jail for contempt of court

As sad and disturbing this is, the absurdity is "funny", in a most depressing way.
You have to be pretty tone deaf to be anti anti fascist, and not realise that the anti's cancel out.

That's why the fascists have been trying to convince people that antifa means anti-first amendment.
And Texans apparently eat that shit up.

Whatever this "anti-government" material was, it is almost certainly covered under the 1st Amendment.
This should be a fast-track appeal, and vacate these ridiculous sentences.
