Antifa Terror Cell Leader Sent To Slammer For Rest Of His Life In Landmark Sentencing

Antifa cell leader Benjamin Song was sentenced to 100 years in prison Tuesday for a 2025 terrorist attack on an immigration facility.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) sentenced Song and seven others involved in the July 4, 2o25, attack on a Texas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility Tuesday, according to multiplereports. These charges stemmed from the first U.S. terrorism case against accused Antifa members — after President Donald Trump had labeled the far-left group a domestic terrorist organization in September 2025.

In March, a jury convicted the group of eight for its role in the attack and convicted Song of attempted murder after a 12-day trial. The other seven people convicted in the trial besides Song face prison sentences ranging from 30 to 70 years, according to CBS News.

The Independence Day attack took place late at night when Song, a former Marine Corps Reservist, and his accomplices arrived dressed in all black, according to a March press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas. Some members of the group also attended a peaceful protest against the ICE detention center without their gear earlier that day before arriving again with the gear at night.
