Antifa leader Benjamin Song sentenced to 100 years for Texas anti-ICE terror attack, 7 other militants also sentenced
The Post Millennial ^ | 6/23/26 | Hannah Nightingale

Eight members of a North Texas Antifa cell have been given decades in prison for their roles in an attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in the state in July of 2025.

Sentences handed down to the group of eight militants ranged from 30 years to 100 years. Ringleader Benjamin Hanil Song received the highest sentence, with US District Judge Mark T Pittman sentencing him to 100 years, Andy Ngo reported. Song had been convicted of charges that included attempted murder and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, the most serious charges in the case. Song had shot Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross in the neck during the attack on the facility, which took place on July 4, 2025.

Pittman also sentenced trans militant Bradford "Meagan" Morris to 50 years in prison, Maricela Rueda to 70 years in prison, and Elizabeth Soto to 50 years in prison.

In another courtroom, Chief US District Judge Reed O’Connor sentenced four other defendants in the case. Cameron Arndold, also known as "Autumn Hill," was sentenced to 50 years in prison, as well as Zachary Evetts and Savanna Batten. Daniel Ronaldo Sanchez-Estrada, a Mexican national, was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

If you remember the Weather Underground group from back in the 60s and 70s, Obama friends Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorne were members, they robbed a armored car and killed one of the security guards and two cops, they got similar sentences and were paroled after 20 years or so.

This group got the sentences they deserved, eventually some Democratic President in the future will pardon them.

If Thune continues to block the SAVE America Act, President AOC can issue a pardon.

I assume Mr Song is second from the left top row?

I am sure their parents are all very proud.

Those are the small fry. Its the financiers and coordinators that need to be found out.

And if it were up to me, for them there wouldn't be a trial.

It should be noted that nearly all of the sentences were longer than that given to Karmelo Anthony. Jasmine Crockett should put that in her pipe and smoke it.
