...for the rest of their lives. I'm betting the charges will be dropped. The admin and ICE pigs use the threat of arrest to intimidate good people, but they don't want to go before a judge with all the attendant publicity and judicial resistance to fascism. And I doubt the feds can find juries who will convict peaceful protesters.
