Antifa leader Benjamin Song sentenced to 100 years for Texas anti-ICE terror attack, 7 other militants also sentenced

2026-06-24

[PM] Lesson taught?
Eight members of a North Texas Antifa cell have been given decades in prison for their roles in an attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in the state in July of 2025.

Sentences handed down to the group of eight militants ranged from 30 years to 100 years. Ringleader Benjamin Hanil Song received the highest sentence, with US District Judge Mark T Pittman sentencing him to 100 years, Andy Ngo reported. Song had been convicted of charges that included attempted murder and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, the most serious charges in the case. Song had shot Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross in the neck during the attack on the facility, which took place on July 4, 2025.

Breaking exclusive: Benjamin Song, the ringleader of the North Texas Antifa terror cell, was sentenced to 100 years in federal prison today in Fort Worth. The sentencing of 7 other violent co-defendants is ongoing. Turn on notifications.

Excellent.

[NgoComment] Eight members of a North Texas Antifa terror cell received historic federal sentences on Tuesday, with prison terms ranging from 30 years to life in prison for their roles in the shooting ambush on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility. The attack led to the first federal Antifa terrorism prosecution — and later convictions — in U.S. history.

U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman sentenced ringleader Benjamin Hanil Song to 100 years in prison. Song was convicted of the most serious offenses in the case, including attempted murder and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. Prosecutors proved at trial that he shot Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross in the neck during the Fourth of July attack last year.

Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada, a Mexican national, received 30 years in prison.
Lt. Gross survived the shooting. Jurors were shown his blood-stained ballistic vest during testimony.

The others:

Bradford Morris, a trans militant and sex worker known as “Meagan Morris”
Maricela Rueda
Elizabeth Soto
Cameron Arnold, also known as “Autumn Hill”
Zachary Evetts
Savanna Batten
Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada, a Mexican national

🚨 JUST IN: A group of Antifa terrorists were just SENTENCED to HUNDREDS OF YEARS in prison after a violent attack on the ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas

FAFO, LOCK THEM UP! I voted for the law and order! 🔥
