Nine Defendants in Prairieland ICE Detention Center Protest Case Plead Not Guilty in Federal Arraignments This Week
DALLAS-FORT WORTH, TX — Nine defendants in the Prairieland ICE Detention Center protest case pleaded ‘not guilty’ today to federal charges, including riot, discharging a firearm, attempted murder, providing material support to terrorists, and conspiracy to conceal documents. A federal superseding indictment was filed in the Prairieland case on November 13 by Acting US Attorney Nancy Larson, just four days before Trump appointed former federal prosecutor Ryan Raybould as US Attorney on November 17.
Savanna Batten, Zachary Evetts, Autumn Hill, Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Daniel “Des” Rolando Sanchez Estrada, Benjamin Song, Elizabeth Soto, and Ines Soto pleaded ‘not guilty’ at their federal arraignments on December 3. All nine defendants are fighting their charges by taking their cases to trial. Federal jury trials are scheduled to begin January 5, 2026, in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas in Fort Worth.
“The superseding indictment makes unproven claims, mischaracterizes facts, and takes quotes out of context,” said Stephanie Shiver, wife of defendant Meagan Morris. “Claims of adherence to a political ideology like anti-fascism, whether true or not, are not grounds to charge someone with terrorism and do not belong in an indictment,” continued Shiver. “By associating the Prairieland case with Antifa, the government is using terrorism charges to spread fear and intimidation, and to carry out sweeping political repression.”
Prejudicial statements related to these cases have been made repeatedly by officials at the highest levels of government, undermining the defendants’ ability to get a fair trial. The Trump administration has publicly claimed that the Prairieland case is the first legal case against Antifa, while Trump declared Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. On September 25, the White House released the National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 (NSPM-7), which ordered all federal law enforcement agencies to prioritize combating Antifa as a domestic terrorism threat. FBI director Kash Patel has called the Prairieland defendants “Antifa-aligned anarchist violent extremists,” sharing Fox News coverage of the case on X.
Yet, supporters are refuting the claims of terrorism and planned violence. “As the Prairieland case progresses, it looks more and more like a protest case involving people expressing solidarity with detained immigrants,” said Amber Lowrey, sister of defendant Savanna Batten. “The federal government is trying to reframe protest activity as terrorism, and we’re seeing this attempted across the country, from Chicago to Portland, and now here in Dallas-Fort Worth.”
The recent arraignments and not guilty pleas come as the District Court of Johnson County is set to hear a motion to quash the State indictment against Dario Sanchez on January 8. Fifteen people were indicted on State charges in the Prairieland case and nine people were indicted on federal charges, forcing many defendants to concurrently fight their State and federal charges. Seven defendants pleaded guilty to federal charges last month and are awaiting sentencing in March.
Exorbitant bonds of up to $15 million are being used in the State cases to imprison people who do not represent a flight risk or a danger to the community. Supporters believe that pretrial detention is being used by the government to hinder the defense and to maintain the dominant narrative in the media.
The Prairieland case stems from a noise demonstration in solidarity with detainees at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4, 2025. Toward the end of the demonstration, an officer with the Alvarado Police Department arrived and allegedly quickly became involved in an exchange of gunfire with someone else on the scene. The officer sustained minor injuries and was released from the hospital shortly afterwards. Ten people were arrested at the scene or shortly after, and a manhunt ensued in the subsequent days for another defendant. Eight more defendants were arrested in the days and weeks following the protest.

Fascinating story from a software dev Fedi friend, shared with permission to keep it anonymous:
❝A couple of days ago, I had an experience at work that made me understand one of the reasons why the chasm of opinion about LLMs is so deep and wide.
My department mostly does fiddly lowlevel work, [close to hardware]. A few of us don't use LLMs at all, a few use them sparingly, and one member is absolutely all-in. So during one of our morning meetings he suddenly started going off on a deeply disturbing diatribe about how we need to treat the LLMs “like slaves”.❞
❝I said that I *absolutely in no way* want a slave, or a technology that simulates one. I want to do creative work using good tools. I *don't want* the experience of a slaver; in fact, I would go very far to never have that experience, because it is a demeaning and antihuman experience.❞
❝He was completely unable to understand why. He kept arguing that since the LLM isn't an actual conscious person (which is correct), it ought to be treated like a slave, and that the arc of technology is to give everyone access to their own virtual slaves.❞
Seems to me that this discussion needs to start with being clear on how we define “slave”. I think we would not be inclined to call a Unix box with a CLI a slave, but it’s bought, sold & owned, and “slavishly” follows orders. I’d say that it has to do with our attribution of agency, and that even if we deny that LLMs have agency, they simulate agency well enough to feel like slaves.
In a similar vein, I found Prof Robinson's argument on energy usage interesting: he argues that as we've all gained access to things like running water, central heating and the like, we've gained "energy slaves".
In essence, the work people used to have to do to haul water, heat homes, wash clothes and the like; it's all done by fossil-fuelled machines now, and one can measure that in human-work-equivalents. It comes out to something like 200 people's worth of energy working for every middle-class person's lifestyle.
Taken to its logical conclusion, energy reduction is a moral choice.
I teach my students to use LLMs “intelligently”: They start a coding job, when they hit a wall, they ask the slop machine for some “help”, one small question-step at a time, and they have to copy-paste “by hand” the solutionS back into their project. I explain that in this process they remain in control of their work, they are the “master” in the situation. If they just ask the LLM to do the work FOR them, they become a “slave” to that machine. unfortunate language, but good think?
the “master”/“slave” language is offensive and slavery is bad, and wanting to own slaves is sociopathic.
but in some cases it can hide more subtle or useful ideas, which *should* be teased out along with plainly stating the obvious about slave fantasy or just careless language.
give people a chance to not be horrible or to move their views to less horrible frames! (or show their true colors, if that’s where it goes)
Interesting/disturbing story. As a software dev of many years, I can point the finger squarely at a low mean maturity level in the profession. This results in large part from denigrating the humanities because they don’t pay & confusing vocational training with education. Software is full of children cosplaying adulthood.
Despite widespread discussions about artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on society, little work has objectively measured how often people use this technology in the wild.
