FROM BREITBART: Two alleged Antifa members were indicted by a federal grand jury this week for reportedly attacking an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Texas this past July.
As Breitbart News reported in July, as many as ten individuals were charged with attempted murder for allegedly ambushing ICE agents outside the detention facility in Alvarado, Texas. According to a press release from the Justice Department at the time, “the defendants, dressed in black military-style clothing, began shooting fireworks at the facility, as part of an organized attack”:
After approximately 10 minutes of convening, one or two individuals broke off from the main group and began to spray graffiti on vehicles and a guard structure in the parking lot at the facility. An Alvarado police officer responded to the scene after correctional officers called 911 to report suspicious activity. When the Alvarado police officer arrived, one alleged defendant positioned in nearby woods shot the officer in the neck area. Another alleged assailant across the street fired 20 to 30 rounds at unarmed correctional officers who had stepped outside the facility.
As alleged in the complaint, AR-style rifles were found at the scene. The assailants fled from the detention center but were stopped by additional law enforcement officers. Some defendants were wearing body armor, some were armed, and some had two-way radios. A total of twelve sets of body armor were found during searches of vehicles associated with the defendants, on their persons, and in the area around the Prairieland Detention Center.
Issued on Wednesday, the indictment charged Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts with “providing material support for terrorism, attempting to murder federal and assisting officers and discharging firearms during attempted murders,” per Fox News.
FBI Director Kash Patel issued a statement, calling the indictment “historic.”
“For the first time ever, the FBI has arrested anarchist violent extremists and charged these Antifa-aligned individuals with material support to terrorism,” Patel said. “This was a planned and coordinated terrorist attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, where armed extremists tried to murder U.S. officers on July 4th.”
“We are executing under President Trump’s new authorities at record speed. To date, the FBI has made over 20 arrests tied to this case and related Antifa networks. No one gets to harm law enforcement. Not on our watch,” Patel added.
First time ever: the FBI arrested Antifa-aligned anarchist violent extremists and terrorism charges have been brought for the July 4 Prairieland ICE attack in Texas.
Under President Trump’s new authorities we’ve made 20+ arrests.
