BREAKING: Trump Enemies Get Hit with…b See more

A major criminal case that has been closely watched for months reached its conclusion this week, prompting President Donald Trump to highlight what his administration is calling one of its biggest victories against domestic extremism.

The announcement quickly drew national attention as the staggering combined prison sentences—and the nature of the crimes involved—became public.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to highlight the sentencing of eight defendants convicted in connection with a violent attack on a Texas immigration center, noting they received a combined 450 years in federal prison.

The Justice Department said the defendants were members of what prosecutors described as the North Texas Antifa Cell and were convicted following a 12-day federal trial.

According to prosecutors, the group attacked the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4, 2025.

Federal officials said the defendants arrived wearing dark clothing and face coverings commonly referred to as “black bloc” while carrying firearms, explosives, body armor and military-grade medical kits.

Prosecutors said members of the group launched fireworks and other explosives at the detention center, vandalized government property and attacked responding law enforcement officers.

According to trial testimony, Alvarado Police Officer Thomas Gross responded after detention officers called 911.

Prosecutors said Benjamin Hanil Song shouted, “Get to the rifles!” before opening fire on officers.

Gross was struck in the neck but survived the shooting.
