First Antifa terrorism case: 5 plead guilty in Alvarado ICE facility attack
2025-11-20
[Fox4News] The Brief

  • Five individuals pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists in connection with a July 4 shooting at the Alvarado ICE Detention Center.

  • The Justice Department alleged an "Antifa cell" carried out the attack, which injured a police officer with gunfire and fireworks.

  • The defendants face up to 15 years in prison; the plea marks the first time Antifa has been targeted with a material support to terrorism charge.

The charges brought by the Justice Department followed President Donald Trump signing an executive order that designates Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. Federal prosecutors say an ‘Antifa cell’ carried out the attack that included gunfire and fireworks aimed toward the immigration facility.

PLEA DEALS AND SENTENCING
Seth Sikes, 22, Nathan Baumann, 20, Joy Gibson, 30, Lynette Sharp, 57, and John Thomas, 32, each entered guilty pleas to one count of providing material support to terrorists in federal court in Fort Worth.

JULY 4 ICE DETENTION ATTACK
Outside the Prairie Land ICE Detention Facility on July 4, fireworks were shot off as federal property was damaged. A responding Alvarado police officer was shot in the neck, surviving his injury.
