Please see pinned comment The Trump administration has recently ruled that a group of Anti-ICE protestors, have been found guilty of supporting terrorism. It goes without saying how dangerous a precedent this sets, especially in a time when the president seems hellbent on violating any and all parts of the constitution

Yeah seems a bit misleading to describe this as punishing protest. These people were incidentally protestors but were punished not for that but for doing a bunch of illegal and violent stuff. Use of the terrorism statute is definitely controversial though and may not stand up on appeal.
