Texas Riot Yields 450-Year Prison Sentence for Antifa-Linked Defendants

Eight people tied to Antifa were sentenced to a total of 450 years in prison for a July 4 riot outside a Dallas-area immigration detention center, including a leader who received 100 years for attempted murder of a federal officer. The defendants were convicted of rioting, weapons/explosives offences, providing material support to terrorists, and obstruction after prosecutors said they fired at the Prairieland facility, threw fireworks, and vandalized property. The DOJ described the group as part of a network aiming to overthrow the government and law enforcement; while some supporters say the sentences are too harsh, Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.
