What is the story behind the image?
According to The Intercept, the image was secretly taken inside a Pecos, Texas, federal courtroom sometime last month during a “mass trial†by someone who felt morally conflicted by the courtroom proceedings. Photography is typically forbidden in federal courtrooms.
Mass trials are not new. In fact, they happened during the previous two administrations. However, under Attorney General Jeff Sessions, mass trials have become more frequent after Sessions ordered federal prosecutors to criminally charge each and every immigrant who illegally enters the U.S.
