Texas protest outside ICE facility yields up to 100-year sentences for eight alleged antifa members
TL;DR
Eight people tied to an alleged antifa cell in Texas were sentenced to prison terms up to 100 years for their roles in a violent protest outside an ICE detention center; one defendant, Benjamin Song, received the full 100-year term for attempted murder. The case is framed by prosecutors as part of a DOJ crackdown on antifa, while defense lawyers argue the charges were politically motivated and backed by limited evidence, with the proceedings taking place in Fort Worth.
