Nine Antifa members will go down in U.S. history as the first Antifa members convicted of terrorism. Finding DAs willing to charge them of terrorism has been difficult, but these terrorists chose Texas as their target for attack. U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Lancy Larson was more than willing to charge them with terrorism. They were found guilty of terrorism by a federal jury in Fort Worth, Texas.
The nine antifa members were convicted of organizing an ambush-style attack on an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas. The nine convicted terrorists are Cameron Arnold, Zachary Evetts, Benjamin Song, Savanna Batten, Bradford Morris, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto, and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada.
Verdict Reached In Landmark Antifa Terrorism Trial – trendingpoliticsnews.com
A federal jury in Fort Worth, Texas, on Friday delivered guilty verdicts against nine individuals linked to a North Texas Antifa cell, marking the first successful use of terrorism charges against members of the leftist extremist group in U.S. history.
Friday’s verdict stemmed from last year’s organized, ambush-style attack on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Alvarado, Texas.
The attack occurred when officers with the Alvarado Police Department responded to reports of a suspicious individual armed with a gun skulking outside the facility in the late hours of July 4. After approaching the suspect, officers were met with gunfire from “multiple people,” which struck one officer in the neck.
The injured officer was airlifted to a nearby hospital in Forth Worth and was later released. Police arrested multiple suspects in connection with the attack, who were believed to have disabled security cameras and attempted to lure officers away from the ICE facility before the shooting.
Charges were soon announced against nearly a dozen individuals accused of participating in a highly organized, ambush-style attack meant to kill ICE agents. “We’re here to tell you that late at night on July 4th, Friday night at approximately 10.37pm at the Prairieland Ice Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, 10 to 12 individuals dressed in black military-style clothing began shooting fireworks and engaging in acts of vandalism at the facility,” U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Nancy Larson said at the time.
