30-Year Sentence for Transporting Zines Is a Five-Alarm Fire for Free Speech

Daniel 'Des' Sanchez Estrada received a 30-year prison sentence for transporting anarchist zines, part of a broader case under President Trump's NSPM-7 counterterrorism policy. The prosecution argued the zines, linked to anti-government ideologies, were concealed to obscure evidence in a case involving his wife, who was sentenced to 70 years for her role in a protest where a police officer was shot.
