Briggs said his client didn't conspire with anyone nor did he attack his alleged victim. Activist Will Johnson said he was among several activists attacked by white supremacists in 2017 near the border wall prototypes erected in Otay Mesa.

Tasha Williamson, a prominent activist in San Diego's racial justice movement, told KPBS in an interview she's faced harassment for years from far-right groups in San Diego, including the white supremacists of the American Guard. "I mean it's my understanding that, you know, if you get assaulted, then the people who assault you should go to jail, get fined, get some kind of punishment," Johnson said."What I saw was that these guys were let free to go do it again and again and again."
