Federal lawsuit accuses Atlanta police of systemically targeting critics of a police and firefighter training center.

Jamie Marsicano is one of dozens of “Stop Cop City’s’ activists facing domestic terrorism and racketeering charges.

The long-brewing controversy over the training center erupted in January 2023 after state troopers who were part of a sweep of the South River Forest killed an activist.
