Eight people convicted over the 2025 attack on a Texas ICE detention facility have received prison sentences ranging from 30 to 100 years. The Justice Department said the case is the first involving alleged Antifa members since the movement was designated a domestic terrorist organisation under President Donald Trump.
Eight people convicted over a 2025 attack on a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Texas were sentenced to prison terms of up to 100 years on Tuesday.
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) said the case marked the first sentencing of defendants it described as affiliated with Antifa since President Donald Trump designated the movement a domestic terrorist organisation in 2025.
According to the DOJ, the defendants were convicted of offences including rioting, using weapons and explosives, providing material support to terrorism, obstruction and the attempted murder of an Alvarado police officer during the attack on the Prairieland Detention Center on July 4, 2025.
Benjamin Hanil Song, whom prosecutors identified as the group's leader and the gunman who shot and wounded the officer during the attack, was sentenced to 100 years in prison. The seven other defendants received prison terms ranging from 30 to 70 years.
