Updates on the Prairieland Case (with NLG and DFW Support Committee)

This week, we're featuring two interviews.

First up, you'll hear form Xavier de Janon, NLG Director of Mass Defense who's worked on the Stop Cop City case and is currently also working on the DFW case where Federal and Texas prosecutors have been seeing prosecution of 18 people (so far) related to the noise demo of July 4th, 2025 at the Prairieland Detention Center in Texas. We speak about the case and about the wider web of repression being pushed by the Trump administration in the name of battling ANTEEFAH. For more info, check out nlg.org
