In March 2023, during protests against the ‘Cop City’ training center, Jamie Marsicano was arrested near a music festival and charged with domestic terrorism and later with violating Georgia’s RICO Act. Marsicano’s attorneys allege the arrest was part of a broader crackdown on the movement and that authorities have illegally targeted critics of the training center, infringing on their First Amendment and civil rights. A federal lawsuit was filed on behalf of Marsicano against various law enforcement officials and the city of Atlanta.
