"At Trump's inauguration, around 200 protesters and journalists were
mass arrested and now face up to 70 years in prison on baseless charges.
Many other legal assaults on civil
liberties are in the works around the country, from treating
anti-fascists as "domestic terrorists", to legislation protecting
drivers who run over peaceful marchers.
To explore what this means for U.S. activists today, Abby Martin sits
down with constitutional rights lawyer Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, head of
the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, a premiere legal organization
defending protest rights. Verheyden-Hilliard has litigated, and won,
several cases against the U.S. government for mass arrests and other
types of repression."
