National SDS says drop the charges on Alejandro Orellana! Stop the deportations! Sanctuary for all!

Fight Back News Service is circulating the following statement from National Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).

On June 12, 2025, the FBI raided the home of Alejandro “Alex” Orellana in Los Angeles and arrested him on bogus charges. Alex is a leading member of Centro CSO, a Chicano community organization that opposes deportations and defends immigrant rights. He is being charged with “conspiracy to commit civil disorder” because of his participation in protests against ICE in LA. These charges are politically motivated and could carry a sentence of up to 5 years in prison.

John Brown was a provocateur. He wasn't an agent, though.

These days, any sort of political provocation is often immediately associated with "agent provocateurs" (entrapment by law enforcement to encourage others to commit crimes).

This is a testament to the paranoid energy of post-COINTELPRO organizing and protesting.

Neill said two men came to his door. One flashed a badge that looked legitimate to Neill, and said he was with the FBI.

"My immediate reaction was to say, ‘I don't talk with the FBI,’” Neill said. The man said, “OK,” and Neill shut the door. Two other activists described similar visits in interviews with WBUR.
