They highlighted the sentencing of over a dozen federal defendants since June related to an anti-deportation riot and other protests, asserting their innocence and fundraising efforts. The group also partnered with Nida abu Baker, daughter of a Hamas funder convicted for supporting terrorism, to defend their cause. The event featured discussions criticizing the Department of Justice&#8217;s persecution of figures like Aafia Siddiqui, linking anti-government narratives to broader political and ideological conflicts. The defendants,arrested for actions during protests at an ICE facility,faced serious charges including attempted murder,with some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/more-americans-want-j6ers-pardoned-as-68-percent-of-dems-support-case-by-case-reviews-if-pardons-go-forward\/\" title=\"More Americans Want J6ers Pardoned, as 68 Percent of Dems Support Case-by-Case Reviews if Pardons Go Forward\">receiving lengthy prison sentences<\/a>. Abu Baker gained notoriety within pro-Palestinian circles for defending her father and other convicted terrorists associated with the Holy Land foundation, which was linked to Hamas and convicted for supporting terrorism. The event underscored efforts to reframe these individuals as political prisoners and heroes,reflecting the group\u2019s broader ideological stance.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A support group for convicts in an <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/investigations\/3499558\/antifa-inc-left-wing-movement-ideology-criminal-network\/\">antifa<\/a> terrorist attack joined a Sunday panel in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/texas\/\">Texas<\/a> with a convicted <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hamas\/\">Hamas<\/a> funder\u2019s daughter to denounce both prosecutions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DFW Support Committee is speaking out after <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/investigations\/4637261\/final-texas-antifa-cell-associate-sentenced-federal-terrorism-case\/\">more than a dozen federal defendants<\/a> were <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/investigations\/4632743\/seven-members-texas-antifa-terrorist-cell-handed-lengthy-prison-sentences\/\">sentenced since June<\/a> over an <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3466426\/meet-the-antifa-cell-terrorism-attempted-murder-ambush-at-texas-ice-facility\/\">anti-deportation riot<\/a> despite the committee <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2026\/03\/13\/first-antifa-terrorism-trial-verdicts-benjamin-song-shooting-police\/\">protesting<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3495821\/could-antifa-co-conspirators-federal-rico-charges\/\">fundraising<\/a> for legal defense, and claiming their innocence.
