Lefties using jury nullification to subvert US immigration law. By Thomas Catenacci at The Washington Free Beacon.

A left-wing activist group is teaching liberals in Washington, D.C., and “across the United States” how to increase their chances of serving as jurors on cases brought by the Trump Department of Justice so they can undermine its chances of securing convictions, training materials reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show.

Freedom Trainers, whose fiscal sponsor is the George Soros-funded group Community Change, is working to make “jury nullification” — the practice of voting against a conviction even if the defendant broke the law — a go-to legal weapon for the Left. Its sessions and training materials, reviewed by the Free Beacon, show how the group teaches “committed people” to gum up federal prosecutions.

The group tells attendees to keep their addresses current to ensure they receive summons. Then, during the jury selection process, it advises them to “Never mention jury nullification,” “Don’t signal an agenda,” and “say you’ll listen to the evidence before forming conclusions.” Once selected, the group tells its trainees to vote “not guilty” for any reason. …

The trainings walk activists through how they can increase their odds of both receiving a jury summons and being selected for the jury.

The group emphasizes, for example, that activists should dress neutrally, give brief answers, and say they will listen to the evidence before forming conclusions during jury selection. They should also never mention jury nullification before or during selection.

Wow! Think of all the virtue points a leftie on the jury would score by getting a guilty immigrant off. Their friends would be so envious!

These trends always show up in Australia before long.
