US EditionDefendants convicted in first-ever antifa terrorism trial over Texas ICE facility attack
Eight defendants were convicted of terrorism-related charges including rioting and explosives use; one was found guilty of attempted murder after shooting a police officer.
- On Friday, a Fort Worth federal jury convicted eight of nine defendants on charges including rioting and providing material support to terrorists in the July 4, 2025 attack at Prairieland ICE Detention Center near Alvarado.
- Prosecutors alleged the July 4 demonstration was a premeditated "ambush" involving fireworks and vandalism that wounded Alvarado Police Officer Thomas Gross, while defense attorneys maintained the group intended a peaceful noise protest.
- Benjamin Hanil Song was additionally found guilty of attempted murder and firearm offenses; jurors reviewed radical zines, anti-government memes, and videos prosecutors presented to demonstrate the group's violent intent.
- Marking the first federal indictment involving Antifa-related domestic terrorism charges, this case tested First Amendment protections as prosecutors secured convictions without requiring ties to a formal organization.
- Defendants face up to 15 years in prison, and critics warn this precedent could criminalize constitutionally protected protests and intimidate activists, potentially reshaping federal enforcement of future demonstrations.
