FORT WORTH, Texas — Jury deliberations have produced multiple guilty verdicts in an alleged July 4, 2025 "ambush" at an ICE detention center in Alvarado.
Eight of nine defendants have been found guilty on federal charges of providing material support to terrorists, rioting, conspiracy to carry an explosive, and use and carrying of an explosive. The ninth defendant was found guilty of corruptly concealing a document and, along with another one of the defendants, conspiracy to conceal documents.
Alleged protest leader Benjamin Song was found guilty of attempted murder of officers and employees of the U.S.
The other defendants charged with attempted murder were found not guilty.
Song was also found guilty of discharging a weapon.
The count of providing material support to terrorists solidifies the federal government's assertion that Antifa is a terrorist organization.
“Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization that has been allowed to flourish in Democrat-led cities — not under President Trump,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a U.S. Department of Justice press release. “Today’s verdict on terrorism charges will not be the last as the Trump administration systematically dismantles Antifa and finally halts their violence on America’s streets.”
