There's a big group of them.
Twelve jurors, three alternates.
And the judge starts asking questions to the jurors to see potential bias in the jurors.
So he asked them, what kind of experience do you have with law enforcement?
Which is not an unusual question in a trial like this.
And then he goes, do you have strong feelings about what ICE has been doing?
I mean, the government would say that they went to attack an ICE facility.
In fact, one of the defendants did shoot a local police officer and that officer was wounded.
And the government's arguing that these defendants were organized.
They're part of an Antifa cell.
This is the government's big case where they're hoping to show that there is an Antifa.
It's a domestic terror group and you can win big convictions on that.
And so the judge is asking these potential jurors, what are your feelings about ICE?
And the way he asks, it's like, do any of you have strong feelings about what ICE is doing?
Pro or con is what he says.
And he sort of has people raise their hands.
