Trial begins for group accused of antifa links in shooting at detention center
Nine individuals have pleaded not guilty to charges tied to an alleged attack on the Prairieland Detention Center last July, with trial proceedings beginning for those accused of antifa links. Prosecutors described the incident as a coordinated assault on the facility, prompting multiple defendants to enter not guilty pleas.
The defendants face a range of offenses related to the alleged attack. Prosecutors say the group coordinated actions aimed at breaching security and disrupting operations at the detention center.
Authorities are pursuing charges that include assault and conspiracy, arguing the defendants acted with intent to cause harm and facility disruption. The court proceedings continue as prosecutors present their case and the defense prepares its responses.
