🚨🚨 BREAKING: A federal jury just convicted nine violent extremists for the July 4 attack on an ICE detention center in Texas. They ambushed law enforcement, shot an officer in the neck, and thought they’d get away with it.
Today justice prevailed. Terrorists who target our agents will face the full force of federal law. We will continue dismantling violent extremist networks and the funding pipelines that support them.
Thank you to our partners across law enforcement and to the Attorney General and the Department of Justice for ensuring these prosecutions moved forward.

BREAKING — Ngo Comment report: Verdict reached in the first-ever federal Antifa terrorism trial over the Texas ICE ambush where an officer was shot in the neck. All cell members have been CONVICTED. Antifa supporters had threatened witnesses during the trial.
Nine down, Portland to go.
🚨 BREAKING: ALL NINE members of an Antifa cell in TX have just been found GUILTY of TERRORISM charges brought by the DOJ, per @MrAndyNgo
This is HUGE, as it's the first terrorism trial against Antifa members in US history!
A precedent has been SET 🔥
The terrorists AMBUSHED ICE agents at their detention center in Alvarado, TX, shooting one of them in the neck, back in July 2025.
Pure TERRORISM. And the FBI, DOJ, and a federal jury of 12 all agreed.
“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,” @FBIDirectorKash said after their arrests
Jurors found the defendants guilty of providing material support to terrorists, rioting, conspiracy to use/carry explosives, and using/carrying explosives.
Many of them will now rot in prison.
MUCH deserved. We need MORE of this! Well done, @AGPamBondi 👏🏻
Hopefully the judge will NOT GO EASY on them.
Since Antifa is a terrorist organization, why not round up all its known members and send them to GITMO? Or do we have to wait for them to shoot cops?

Can we now arrest some politicians for aiding and abetting terrorists?
Protect the identities of that jury!
I’m assuming they had been sequestered.
Tough guys. They won’t be going to “Club Fed” we’ll see how the tough guys like adapting to prison life in a real prison
Buzzkill.
Where are the “no body has been arrested” and “nobody has been convicted” posters now?
Bye bye ANTIFA - for now while we have Trump in power.
Licking their wounds and thinking up new avenues of attack.
Chuckle.
I’ll hold up on celebrating until I find out what their sentences are going to be.
Why?
They were tried in deep red Texas not New York City.
I don't believe in counting on anything being a done deal, until it actually happens. Do I need to remind you that deep red Texas repeatedly elected RINO John Cornyn?
Antifa strikes me as being a radical punk cult. As a domestic terrorist organization they’re dangerous enough, but a bunch of brainwashed radicalized punks is how they come across when you look at and listen to them.
