This group is anti-American and a fascist group. How they turned that around to act as if they are anti fascist is a joke. This group has operation plans, plans how to make protesting weapons, such as concrete in a cup, thrown at people or in the worst case, used as a weapon. They shoot fireworks during protests and attack ICE officers to the brink, with some crossing the line and getting arrested.
The majority of these folks are turnstile criminals, in and out of jail on the same date, fully funded to cause chaos, and they do. I remember this group attacking a detention center with weapons. These penalties are deserved and hopefully will send a message. But we are under attack, and there are so many other threats in our country. Make no mistake, this is a big movement funded by Soros and other millionaires from around the world. All want us to fail because of our success. And the sad part is that our kids are falling for the deception and lies, thanks to teachers’ unions. All IMO.
“A gunman identified as an Antifa member convicted of wounding a police officer during an attack on a Texas immigration detention facility last July 4 was sentenced to 100 years in federal prison on Tuesday.
Benjamin Song was convicted of attempted murder and terrorism-related charges in March after prosecutors said he opened fire and wounded a police officer at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado. He faced 20 years to life in prison.
Seven others convicted of terrorism-related charges sentenced Tuesday received prison terms ranging from 30 to 70 years, according to The Associated Press. They include Cameron Arnold (also known as Autumn Hill), Zachary Evetts, Bradford Morris (also known as Meagan Morris), Maricela Rueda, Savanna Batten, Elizabeth Soto, and Ines Soto.
Song shouted “get to the rifles!” and then opened fire on officers, according to the Justice Department. Prosecutors said Song fired 11 shots until his AR-style rifle jammed, hitting an officer in the neck who had responded to a 911 call.
The ninth defendant, Daniel Rolando Sánchez-Estrada, was found guilty of concealing documents and conspiracy to conceal documents. He received a 30-year prison term Tuesday.
U.S. District judges Mark Pittman and Reed O’Connor sentenced the defendants.
O’Connor said what happened last July wasn’t a protest but “an assault on democracy.”
Prosecutors said that the Antifa group launched a premeditated terror attack on the detention facility that included setting off fireworks, vandalizing property, and shooting at officers.
The successful prosecution of the terrorism-related charges was seen as a victory for the Trump administration and a deterrent for violent extremist groups that could pave the way for future prosecutions.
According to The Associated Press, Philip Hayes, Song’s attorney, said outside the courthouse in Fort Worth: “Our issue with this case has always been this isn’t a bunch of terrorists. This is a bunch of kids and young adults who really have a really big heart and really wanted their voice to be heard.
“It was never intended that anybody get hurt. It was never intended that any shots would be fired.”
