Eight people convicted over a 2025 “terrorist attack” on a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Texas were handed prison terms of up to a century on Tuesday.
The US Justice Department said the case marked the first sentencing of defendants affiliated with Antifa since President Donald Trump designated the movement a terrorist organization.
According to the DOJ, the defendants were convicted for their roles in “rioting, using weapons and explosives, providing material support to terrorists, obstruction, and the attempted murder of an Alvarado police officer at the Prairieland Detention Center on July 4, 2025.”
Benjamin Hanil Song, whom prosecutors identified as the cell’s leader and the gunman who shot and wounded the officer during the attack, was sentenced to 100 years in prison. The seven other defendants received terms ranging from 30 to 70 years.
