Have you seen Benjamin Song?

State and federal agencies have issued a Blue Alert for a suspect who allegedly shot a Texas police officer during the attack of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility on July 4.

Benjamin Hanil Song, 32, is wanted for his accused involvement in wounding an officer outside of the Prairieland ICE facility near Alvarado. The Texas Department of Public Safety and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are collaborating on the search.

Song is described as an Asian or Pacific Islander male with black hair and brown eyes, standing at 5'6" and weighing about 150 pounds. He was last seen outside the Alvarado ICE facility on the 1200 block of Sunflower Lane at 11 p.m. Friday, July 4.

JMO, Antifa radical.

You are possibly right. However, I would not discount the chance that he is an agent of the CCP who has infiltrated Antifa to help foment attacks of this sort. China and Russia benefit from internal chaos in the United States.

I got this alert on my phone yesterday, first one I have received. I often get Amber or weather alerts.

Will keep a lookout. Hmm...

A Joe Pedo “marine” who furnished the guns. Back when they let anybody join the military.

He’s probably hiding out in Oregon in Portland(Antifa cesspool).
