Judges sentence 7 more to prison over shooting outside Texas immigration detention center
Six defendants received up to 15 years and Ines Soto got 50 years after pleading guilty or being convicted in the Prairieland case.
- On Wednesday, a federal court in Fort Worth sentenced seven more defendants to prison terms ranging from nearly two to 50 years for their roles in the July 2025 shooting outside the Prairieland Detention Center near Dallas.
- During the July 4, 2025 demonstration against immigration policies at the Alvarado facility, protesters set off fireworks and vandalized property; an Alvarado police officer was shot in the neck and wounded, according to federal prosecutors.
- Former U.S. Marine reservist Benjamin Song received 100 years for attempted murder, while defendant Ines Soto was sentenced to 50 years after conviction on charges of providing material support to terrorists, riot, and explosives.
- Defense attorneys rejected the Justice Department's characterization of an 'antifa cell,' arguing participants brought firearms only for protection during what they intended as a peaceful, late-night fireworks demonstration to support immigrants.
- U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor called the protest an 'assault on democracy,' stating the need to deter such conduct, while several defendants including Song have filed notices of appeal challenging their convictions.
