⚡️🇺🇸🚨A federal court in Texas has convicted nine anti-ICE activists for an attack that occurred on July 4, 2025 at the Prairieland deportation center, in the first federal case with convictions for "terrorism" against alleged "Antifa" affiliates.
🔻 The prosecution presented the defendants as a "North Texas Antifa cell," a definition contested by the defenses, using encrypted chats, Faraday bag phones, black clothing, political texts, and material defined as "anarchic" and "anti-government" to support the charge.
🔻 The court found them guilty of crimes including "material support for terrorism," rioting, use of explosives, and concealment of evidence, with total sentences reaching up to 100 years in prison.
🔻 Benjamin Song, identified by the prosecution as the main organizer of the action, was also convicted of attempted murder after the non-fatal wounding of a police officer during the action.
