On Thursday afternoon, FBI Director Kash Patel shared news related to arrests that were previously made in connection with the July 4th domestic terror attack at the Prairieland Detention Facility in Alvaredo, Texas, in which a police officer was shot in the neck.
"First time ever: the FBI arrested Antifa-aligned anarchist violent extremists and terrorism charges have been brought for the July 4 Prairieland ICE attack in Texas," Patel noted on X. "Under President Trump’s new authorities, we’ve made 20+ arrests. No one gets to harm law enforcement. Not on my watch."

The indictment was unsealed on Thursday:
The two men who were indicted, Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts, were previously charged in connection with the alleged ambush of federal agents at the ICE facility and attempting to kill two correctional officers and an Alvarado police officer, but the grand jury indictment charges both with an additional count of providing material support to terrorists.
According to Patel, "This was a planned and coordinated terrorist attack... where armed extremists tried to murder U.S. officers."
Antifa expert Andy Ngo says that one of them, Cameron Arnold (pictured on the left below), is a member of the violent "Trantifa" cell:
Two members of a North Texas Antifa cell have been federally indicted with federal terrorism charges over an ambush shooting on an ICE facility where an officer was shot in the neck.
Cameron Arnold (“Autumn Hill”), a Trantifa, and Zachary Evetts were indicted with providing material support for terrorism.

Here is the indictment:
As @POTUS has made clear, Antifa is a left-wing terrorist organization. They will be prosecuted as such. https://t.co/bPiE8nqkky— Attorney General Pamela Bondi (@AGPamBondi) October 16, 2025
The details from the indictment are chilling:
The indictment claims the group that Arnold and Evetts were a part of did extensive preplanning before the incident, and that Arnold trained others on firearm use and close-quarters combat.
The group was heavily armed with over 50 firearms that were purchased in Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Dallas and elsewhere, according to the indictment. The document also noted that Arnold allegedly built numerous AR-platform rifles, some of which he distributed to his co-defendants, and at least one of which featured a binary trigger, allowing the gun to shoot at a higher rate by causing two bullets to fire with each trigger cycle.
Arnold, Evetts and others also used an encrypted messaging app to coordinate their moves, according to the DOJ. The investigation found that one member of the group wrote "I'm done with peaceful protests" and "Blue lives don't matter" as part of those conversations.
In other words, the suspects were allegedly preparing a massacre.
A total of 15 suspects have been arrested in this case. The mugshots of 10 of them were released shortly after they were taken into custody and, as my RedState colleague Bob Hoge noted at the time, they looked exactly like you'd expect them to:
These are the 10 alleged members of a north Texas Antifa terror cell accused of carrying out the attempted murder of federal officers at a shooting terrorist attack on an ICE facility on the Fourth of July in Alvarado, Texas.
One local police officer was shot in the neck, and survived. The group was armed with multiple rifles, pistols, body armor, escape vehicles, radios, and other devices indicating a planned conspiracy.Multiple members of the cell are confirmed trans.
They've been charged federally with attempted murder and also face local charges of terrorism in Johnson County, Texas.

That is a lot of ugly in one group
The androgenous one on the left will be very popular in prison.
Un-possible, Antifa only exists as an idea.
I love how they got the spirit Halloween old-school criminal costumes on with the black-and-white stripes. God bless Texas.
I have infiltrated the local “ no kangs” FB group just to watch them and they keep repeating that lie.
So much delusion, so few asylums.
But the clothes look good on them, that 'retro' wide-stripe black and white.
The one in the middle of the top row might just be Fred Flintstone.
I mistook him for a hung-over Eric Swalwell!
Antifa has been tolerated for too long.
Time to put them, terrorists, in jail.
So I guess Signal is easily cracked.
Whole lot of ugly
“The one in the middle of the top row might just be Fred Flintstone.”
There’s a resemblance but, these days, Fred is the Governor of illinois.
One thing these Antifa thugs seem to have in common: none of them look they have showered in years.
Radicalized leftist women and beta males.
