Antifa Terrorists Sentenced to 50 to 100 Years in Prison for Attack on Texas ICE Detention Center

Eight of the ten Antifa members convicted of terrorism charges for an attack on a Texas ICE detention center were sentenced to at least 50 years in prison on Tuesday.

The Antifa ringleader Benjamin Song was sentenced to 100 years in prison.

CBS News reported:

Eight people who were found guilty of terrorism-related charges earlier this year for a 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, learned their punishments on Tuesday. One member of the group, identified as the group’s leader, was sentenced to a century in prison.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas said on Monday that sentencing for the defendants would happen Tuesday morning. The verdicts, handed down in March, came as the defendants stood accused in the July 4, 2025, plot targeting the Prairieland ICE detention center following weeks of testimony from investigators, law enforcement and cooperating witnesses.

Benjamin Song was hit with the longest prison sentence: 100 years behind bars. Maricela Rueda was sentenced to 70 years in prison. Autumn Hill was sentenced to 50 years, along with Zachary Evetts, Savanna Batten, Meagan Morris, and Elizabeth Soto. Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Prosecutors said that the group launched a premeditated terror attack on the detention facility inspired by antifa ideology, by setting off fireworks, vandalizing property, and shooting at police officers who responded. One officer was struck in the neck with a bullet and survived.

It’s Texas where people are armed. This would never happen in NY, as the jury would be too scared to convict. Like I half-jokingly said at the time- if someone hung the Trump jury, they wouldn’t survive the trip home.

“CBS News reported”

That in and of itself is what caught me by surprise.

Usually news of this nature is ignored and blacked out by the propaganda arm of the democrat party.

In the spirit of the post.....MORE PLEASE!

These sentences, none of which involED an actual killing, show why the Carmelo Anthony sentence was grossly inadequate. He committed a deliberate premeditated murder and only got 35 years. Nowhere near enough. It should have been the full 99 years.

“These sentences, none of which involED an actual killing”

IIRC and illegal that was being transported was shot and didn’t survive.

Yes, if not here illegally it would not have happened but a life is a life.....wouldn’t you agree?

Seems excessive. Rapists get less and do more damage.

The govt screams insurrection and juries scream 50 years in teror.

I’d wager that somehow the perps were shocked that their efforts were frowned upon.

This is absolutely gratifying!

I hope this will act as a deterrent to other Neanderthals.

My tax money was too hard-won for it to be wantonly destroyed by these morons!

No blacks, but they don’t generally go in for Antifa. Indeed, I’d have been surprised if any were included in that group of vermin.

Maybe the same ones, aftetr enjoying the pleasures of Federal hospitality, will be inclined to rat out Antifa. We can only hope.

These sentences won’t last. Some lawyer and sympathetic judge will find they violate “cruel and unusual “
