FUCK ICE. FREE TRENTEN!
This past June, Trenten became the first person in Portland to be picked up from his house and charged with federal crimes for alleged protest activity at the ICE facility in the SW waterfront area.
The federal government alleges that a lit flare that minorly damaged the building’s front gate constitutes “arson”. A federal judge sentenced him to 18 months in prison for that very flare, along with having to pay fines that total to $8,820.
The judge openly admitted in court that Trenten was being used to make an example to others who dared protest at the ICE facility.
This sentence is utterly barbaric, and it comes in the midst of increased aggression against anti-fascists all across the amerikan settler colony who have risen up to fight back against ICE.
All across amerika, the empire’s federal agents continue to violently enforce this settler colony’s fascist agenda. Masked police kill people in the streets. The amerikan government disappears our neighbors into concentration camps. And they do this with no end in sight. With impunity.
People who express dissent and stand up to fight back for their neighbors are targeted, brutalized, and imprisoned. Trenten is no different. And it is on us to now take care of him in his time of need.
Trenten will report to federal prison at the end of April 2026.
You can begin to write to him then at the following address:
TRENTEN BARKER #93764-511
FCI LOMPOC II
FEDERAL CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION
3901 KLEIN BLVD
LOMPOC, CA 93436
Trenten is being sent all the way to Lompoc because the Feds have designated him to be “too dangerous” to be at a camp in Oregon. This is yet another attempt by the fascist police state to attempt to isolate Trenten and remove him from his support system.
We cannot allow that to happen. Solidarity is a verb, and we are all we have.
Send Trenten love! Let him know that bravery comes with the reward of endless love and solidarity from your community.
