Texas Antifa Cell Convicted on Terror Charges as Trump Targets Far-Left
14th March 2026
For years Democrats argued that “Antifa” is not a real organization; rather, they claim it is a set of ideals with no concrete membership. This illusory definition of the movement is quite deliberate in that it is designed to protect Antifa members from being defined as terrorists or facing direct consequences for their actions.
Legal questions have been growing over the use of federal terrorism laws against leftist activists. Democrats claim they’re engaging in constitutionally protected civil protest – rationale used justify attacks on ICE agents during the execution of deportations. It was also used extensively as legal grounds for violence and property destruction during the BLM riots.
Now, there’s been a conviction.
On Friday, nine defendants accused of being part of a North Texas “Antifa Cell” were convicted by a federal jury in Fort Worth. The incident in question took place on July 4th, 2025, at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas – where anti-ICE protests functioned as cover for the vandalization of government property (vehicles, guard shack, security cameras), the use if exploding fireworks at the facility, and the shooting of a police officer.
If everyone were allowed to shoot anyone wearing a hammer-and-sickle or swastika, a lot of our problems would go away.
