Leader of Texas ICE Center Attack Gets 100-Year Prison Sentence
25th June 2026
Eight people were each sentenced to 30 to 100 years in prison on Tuesday in connection with violence at a Texas federal immigration facility last year that prosecutors called domestic terrorism.
In the incident on July 4, 2025, prosecutors said Antifa militants wearing black tactical gear opened fire on law enforcement officers at Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, about 25 miles south of Fort Worth. A police officer was wounded.
“The sentences handed down today make clear that Antifa terrorists who attack law enforcement and federal facilities will face swift and uncompromising justice,” said acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in a statement.
Benjamin Song, who was convicted of attempted murder and who prosecutors said was the operation’s organizer, got the longest sentence of 100 years, according to court filings.
In hearings at U.S. District Court in Fort Worth, two judges announced sentences of 30 to 70 years for seven other defendants, most of whom were convicted in March on charges including rioting and supporting terrorism.
