The final federally convicted associate of a Texas antifa cell received a six-year prison term on Monday, bringing the cell’s total sentence to a combined 562 years behind bars for their roles in carrying out a July 2025 terrorist attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.Susan Elaine Kent, the last remaining defendant in the first-ever case to convict admitted antifa members on terrorism-related charges, was ordered on Monday to spend 72 months in federal prison for the sole count of providing material support to terrorists. Kent’s 15 other incarcerated cell operatives received as little as 22 months to as much as 100 years each.Kent pled guilty ahead of trial, agreeing to serve as the government’s witness in exchange for a reduced sentence. Had she been convicted at trial, Kent could have spent decades in prison as opposed to the 15-year statutory maximum that the material support conviction carries. Kent’s capped sentence was expected to be significantly reduced this week for extensive cooperation with the prosecution.
As part of the plea bargain, Kent testified against her coconspirators, telling jurors that she joined a support network that mobilized in the aftermath of the attack to help hide the cell’s at-large leader, Benjamin Hanil Song.Kent confessed to coordinating Song’s lodging arrangements and transportation between safe houses after learning that he had shot an Alvarado Police Department officer on the scene of the ambush. Song, codename “Delete,” was the subject of a weeklong, multistate manhunt involving the FBI and ended up with the cell’s lengthiest prison sentence of one century, or life in prison, for the attempted murder of a police officer.
