Federal authorities arrested a military veteran on Tuesday afternoon, who was wanted in connection with an attack on an ICE detention facility in Texas and remained on the run for nearly 11 days after the attack.
The FBI Dallas Field Office said it apprehended 32-year-old Benjamin Song on Tuesday afternoon in Dallas.
Song allegedly joined a group of 10 to 12 others in an organized attack on officers at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4. Ten assailants were apprehended at the time, though Song managed to evade capture, according to authorities.
"The FBI has worked tirelessly to arrest everyone associated with the shooting at the Prairieland Detention Center," FBI Dallas Field Office Special Agent in Charge R. Joseph Rothrock said. "We would like to thank all the entities that publicized this case and assisted in our efforts to successfully locate Benjamin Song.

No, he is indeed a veteran. But an OTH discharge is definitely considered a blemish. It’s tough to come back from, but certainly not impossible.
But he won’t come back from this.
Are Democrats defending this b*stard yet?
The authorities were searching because they couldn’t proceed with the case, without Song.
Without A Song
by Vincent Youmans with lyrics later added by Billy Rose and Edward Eliscu 1929)
Without a song,
the day would never end
Without a song,
the road would never bend
When things go wrong, a man ain’t got a friend
Without a song!
Mug shot.
I don’t speak to nobody until I see my hair stylist.
Now those Blue Alerts will stop going off on my phone.
Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, start to feeling good
You simply got no choice
It’s only the libtards who vote to do so.
Ha.
His own fault for not changing his name.
They gonna teach him how to play the meat whistle
Good to know that the FIB is going after actual criminals these days.
I doubt it.
Does he have an Honorable Discharge?
“I recall reading in another article that this punk had received a dishonorable discharge”

Regarding Song’s military Service:
“On Friday, the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve confirmed Song served for nearly five years, with a specialization as a supply administration and operations clerk. He received an other-than-honorable discharge in 2016, court documents said. At the time, his rank was Lance Corporal, according to the Marines.”
I don’t care if he’s Chesty flippin’ Puller. Throw the book at this piece of human debris.
No, the saying is there are no “EX” Marines. Former? All of us who are no longer on active duty.
Still a veteran - discharge status doesn’t change that. Even a dishonorable is still technically a veteran - a useless P.O.S., but a veteran.
He’ll get 20 years to sing his song.
I agree the Other Than Honorable discharge should not be considered a veteran.
Looking it up, they apparently can ask for a character of discharge review to be considered a veteran for veteran benefits. This guy would never pass that review, that’s for sure.
Nice that they could take time out from protecting elitist pedophiles.
