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.

The inmates where he gets sent will be singing a new song...
Sing Sing for Song.
These guys (and gals) participating in these attacks all treat it as if they are playing a video game. They assume if they “lose” they can just hit “reset” and continue without any consequences. They don’t expect the FO part of the FA.
Lock him up and throw away the key.
I don’t know why Americans invite these foreign, America-hating freaks into our country.
Put him in a hard core prison with a lot of Big Horny Bubbas.
He is going to be popular.
They there’s no such thing as a ‘former Marine’.
I think we can make an exception in this case.

One would love to learn the type and conditions of his discharge/separation.
Fact of life is not all Marines are honorable, nor all Army,Air Force,Coast Guard,etc.
Every group, civilian and military, has its worthless scumbags not worthy of respect.
Complete truth right there.
It was “other than honorable.”
Then he's not technically a "veteran", is this not correct?
(Asking as a Veteran with an HD who would not appreciate oth in our ranks.)
Is this the same one?

“2 alleged accomplices arrested for aiding fugitive accused of shooting at ICE Agents in Texas”
“Federal authorities have charged two individuals who have been accused of helping at-large Antifa gunman, Benjamin Hanil Song, escape following the July 4 ambush shooting attack at the ICE Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas.
John Phillip Thomas and Lynette Read Sharp were taken into custody on charges including alleged accessory after the fact, according to court documents. Both defendants were involved in Signal Chats, where the pair allegedly mapped out nearby police departments, Acting US Attorney Nancy Larson told Fox News.

During an interview, Thomas allegedly admitted to investigators that he transported Song to a separate home in the area after the shooting. Thomas, who claimed he was not present during the ambush shooting, allegedly told officials that he had met with three individuals on the day after the attack, which involved discussions on how to help Song flee the area, according to court documents.

Additionally, Thomas was a member of two separate Signal Chat groups that included Song. Thomas reportedly removed Song from one of the chats the day after the shooting, according to court documents.”
I recall reading in another article that this punk had received a dishonorable discharge.
His chances of disappearing were slim to none, and Slim left town.
