Daniel Sanchez is facing federal charges for what free speech advocates say is a clear attack on the First Amendment.
Federal prosecutors have filed a new indictment in response to a July 4 noise demonstration outside the Prairieland ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, during which a police officer was shot.
There are numerous problems with the indictment, but perhaps the most glaring is its inclusion of charges against a Dallas artist who wasn’t even at the protest. Daniel “Des” Sanchez is accused of transporting a box that contained “Antifa materials” after the incident, supposedly to conceal evidence against his wife, Maricela Rueda, who was there.

They’re targeting zines now? LMAO, I’ve seen some literally made with nothing more than a fine point Sharpie, a few pieces of paper and a pair of staples.
Good thing that they don’t cost 0.05¢ to produce, right? How are Anarchists going to produce content driving for prison reform and against corporatism if the FBI tells them not to? /s
This article was release before the federal trial of this person. They were actually convicted.
Rueda and her husband, Daniel Sanchez Estrada, were convicted of conspiracy to conceal documents. That charge centered on Sanchez’s movement of boxes containing radical pamphlets after her arrest. Sanchez was also convicted of corruptly concealing a document.

“Corruptly concealing a document” sounds absolutely made up to add on an additional charge.
Don’t you know opposing the government even if just in your thoughts is terrorism? /S
