Antifa terror cell members indicted for allegedly aiding convicted ringleader escape after shooting

Three more accused associates of a North Texas Antifa terror cell have been indicted on state felony charges for allegedly helping the convicted ringleader evade capture after the July 2025 shooting attack outside an immigration detention center in Alvarado, Texas.

A Johnson County grand jury indicted Melanie Lynn Estes, Andrew Tyler Smith and Steven Thomas Reyna in March but the indictment was only recently unsealed. They’re charged with one count each of engaging in organized criminal activity and hindering the prosecution of terrorism.

The indictments accuse the three of participating in a criminal conspiracy that helped Antifa member Benjamin Song avoid arrest after he allegedly shot Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross outside the Prairieland Detention Center on July 4, 2025

Prosecutors allege Estes, Reyna and Smith worked alongside previously charged and now-convicted defendants Lynette Sharp and Susan Kent to transport, harbor or conceal Song and provide him with the means of avoiding arrest after the shooting.

Song was an FBI and Texas top-wanted fugitive for 11 days following the terrorist attack.

The new indictments stem from what federal prosecutors have described as an organized Antifa attack on the Prairieland ICE detention facility in Alvarado by a North Texas Antifa cell.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I'm glad to see the FBI working to arrest these terrorists.

Something has to give. These ANTIFA terrorists became emboldened after the positive reviews from blue state officials, the media, and Biden’s DOJ letting them destroy at will.

Here is two more that are FAFO. This time in Atlanta.

Yep.

Also today,

Acting AG Todd Blanche

Today, alongside
@DHSgov, @HHSGov, and @NDOHnews, the Department of Justice announced the indictments of three illegal aliens from Guatemala for their alleged roles in a conspiracy to smuggle more than a dozen children into the United States by exploiting the prior administration’s open border policies.

Additionally, we announced the sentencing of another illegal alien, also from Guatemala, who fraudulently sponsored and then sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl.

Under
@POTUS
Trump’s leadership, there is zero tolerance for those who traffic and exploit unaccompanied children. Under his leadership, our border is now secure, children are being protected, and those who seek to harm them will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Acting AG Todd Blanche announces the indictments of three illegals who took part in a “wide-ranging conspiracy” to smuggle dozens of children into America, then drops an absolute BOMBSHELL:

“There are over 15,500 ‘super sponsor’ cases that we have identified.”

Read that again. The DOJ has identified 15,500 pedophiles, rapists, smugglers, and traffickers that Joe Biden and the Democrats let waltz right into the country and abuse thousands of innocent children.

Many of these kids DHS has located have reported being sexually assaulted hundreds of times.

Preventable, tragic, horrifying humanitarian disaster allowed to happen thanks to Democrats’ “humane” open border.

15,000 that we know about.

The Drive-By Media continue to ignore the huuuuuge drop in crime.

If the democRATs/DemoKKKrats had their way, every Jew entering the USA would be forced to wear The Yellow Star Of David, just like Germany did.

I sure the Grand Master of the Yellow Star Of David, Graham Platner, would be ecstatic to be placed in charge of ferreting out all of the Jews.

Lately, unfortunately, there are several here on FR that think the same way.
