For the first time in American history, members of an Antifa cell have been convicted on federal terrorism charges — and a Texas jury delivered the verdict.
A federal jury in Texas convicted nine members of the North Texas Antifa Cell on charges including rioting, using weapons and explosives, providing material support to terrorists, obstruction, and attempted murder — marking the first time Antifa members have been convicted on federal domestic terrorism charges in the United States.  The group was convicted of charges related to an attack on the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, and the attempted murder of an Alvarado police officer, both occurring on July 4, 2025.  The 12-day trial began on February 23, 2026, with jurors hearing testimony from more than 45 witnesses and considering over 210 exhibits.  Seven additional members had previously pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists, bringing the total convicted to sixteen.
The verdict was mixed — most defendants were convicted of providing material support to terrorists, while only one, Benjamin Song, was convicted of the attempted murder of the police officer who was shot in the neck while responding to a 911 call. He survived and has since returned to active duty. 
The broader significance is undeniable. For years, political violence carried out under the Antifa banner was met with minimal federal prosecution. That changed under Trump’s designation of Antifa as a domestic terror organization — and now a federal jury in Texas has set a legal precedent that will apply in courtrooms across the country.
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” — Romans 12:21
Justice is not a political preference. It applies to everyone — including those who use violence to advance a cause.
What do you think — should all politically motivated violent #america #truth #justice
