Justice Department brings first Antifa-related terrorism charges in Texas ICE attack

Federal prosecutors charged Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts with terrorism and attempted murder after a planned July 4 attack on a Texas ICE facility injured a police officer, DOJ said.

  • On Thursday, the Department of Justice unsealed an indictment charging Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts with terrorism, attempted murder, and discharging firearms in a July 4 attack at the Prairieland ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas.
  • Following President Donald Trump's executive order last month, the DOJ filed the first antifa-related federal terrorism charges amid a broader crackdown on antifascist activism.
  • Court filings describe Arnold training others, building AR-platform rifles with binary triggers, and members coordinating via encrypted messaging apps as one Alvarado police officer was shot in the neck and later released.
  • A federal judge in Fort Worth ordered Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts remain detained pending trial, and they are scheduled to appear at an October 22 hearing without having entered pleas.
  • Experts caution that Antifa's loose structure makes classification difficult, with John Helms saying `This prosecution has been going on for months...an attempt to score political points` amid rising attacks on ICE facilities this year.
