Several defendants who are among the first indicted on terrorism-related charges for their alleged connection to Antifa are scheduled to plead guilty this week and next, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Northern District of Texas.

A grand jury indicted nine North Texas Antifa Cell operatives on charges of providing material support to terrorists in the July 4 attack against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas.

“This is the first indictment in the country against a group of violent Antifa cell members,” Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Nancy Larson said. “The charges the Grand Jury has leveled against these defendants, including material support for terrorists, address the vicious attack perpetrated by an anti-ICE, anti-law enforcement, anti-government, anarchist group.”

Charges also brought against the nine include riot,with the intent to commit an act of violence; conspiracy to use and carry an explosive and doing so during a riot; attempted murder of officers and federal employees; discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence; and document concealment.

The indictment alleges the leader of the group was Benjamin Song, who authorities say opened fire on the officers, striking the Alvarado police officer in the neck. Song, authorities allege, fled the scene, prompting a week-long manhunt ending in his arrest.

If convicted, Song, Arnold, Evetts, Morris, and Rueda face between 10 years and life in prison. Batten, Elizabeth Soto and Ines Soto each face 10 to 50 years in prison. Sanchez Estrada faces up to 20 years in prison on each count.

Providing material support to terrorists charges brought against Baumann, Gibson, Kent, Morgan, Sharp, Thomas and Sikes carry up to 15 years in prison.

Pleading guilty because they know they’ll get a virtual hand-slap, if even that.

I have ZERO faith in our criminal justice system anymore.

Awesome real action against ANTIFA. Now if only other countries, like Canada, follow suit.
