Anti-Trump protestors and rioters could face up to 10-years in prison and hefty fines, according to federal prosecutors.  Most of the 200 violent protestors who were arrested during Trump’s inauguration last week will receive a $25,000 fine and possible prison time due to the vandalizing of public property. Press TV reports: Police used tear gas, stun grenades, water cannon and pepper spray to subdue the protesters before arresting some of them on “felony rioting” charges.
