History Made: Two Antifa Thugs Charged with Terrorism for First Time Ever — Were Part of Cell that Tried to Murder ICE Agents in Texas
Gateway Pundit ^ | 10/16/2025 | Cullen Linebarger

The Trump DOJ made history on Wednesday by announcing terrorism charges against Antifa militants for the first time.

As Fox News reported, a federal grand jury indicted two alleged Antifa leftists with terrorism-related charges for an Independence Day attack on an ICE facility in Texas.

The Gateway Pundit previously revealed that ten individuals were involved in a coordinated attack on ICE officers in Alvarado, Texas. The individuals are alleged to be part of an Antifa cell from North Texas.

According to the criminal complaint, the defendants, dressed in black military-style clothing, began shooting fireworks at the facility as part of an organized attack.

Cameron Arnold aka “Autumn Hill”, Savannah Batten, Nathan Baumann, Zachary Evetts, Joy Gibson, Bradford Morris, Maricela Rueda, Seth Sikes, Elizabeth Soto, and Ines Soto were identified by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Texas, as the thugs responsible for this awful crime.

All were charged with attempted murder.

Now, Arnold and Evetts are being accused of terrorism. They have been hit with the following charges: providing material support for terrorism, attempting to murder federal and assisting officers and discharging firearms during attempted murders.

FBI Director Kash Patel hailed the news on X:

“First time ever: the FBI arrested Antifa-aligned anarchist violent extremists and terrorism charges have been brought for the July 4 Prairieland ICE attack in Texas,” Patel wrote.

“Under President Trump’s new authorities we’ve made 20+ arrests,” he added. “No one gets to harm law enforcement. Not on my watch.”

I wonder if the indictment states that they’re Antifa.

I wonder too. It is mostly irrelevant if the factual basis for the crime exists.

Now make sure they go to a judge who won't just release them.

There needs to be an example made.

I’d like to see a clear statement that they’re Antifa along with evidence to back it up. It would help disprove the Democrat/media claim that Antifa is a rightwing hobgoblin.

A twelfth suspect has been charged and is being sought in the ambush on the night of July Fourth at the ICE Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas following the arrests of eleven other alleged Antifa members in the shooting attack that wounded an Alvarado police officer in the neck.

The FBI announced on Wednesday up to a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of former Marine Reservist Benjamin Song, 32, who has been charged with six counts related to the attack. Several of the rifles found at the scene of the ambush are allegedly tied to Song, who has a reported other than honorable discharge.

Anyone who shows up at a protest/riot dressed as Antifa should be arrested and get the same treatment as the J6 people. No bail, no court date for at least 2 years.

There appears to be two transgender people.
Just a coincidence.

Looks like the indictment does clearly call them out as Antifa:
