Prairieland Detention Center shooting

A federal judge in Fort Worth sanctioned three defense attorneys in the July 4 Prairieland Detention Center shooting case for filing "frivolous" motions to conduct discovery of evidence they say the government hasn't fully handed over.

So far, 19 people have been arrested and face a range of federal and state charges that include hindering prosecution of terrorism in connection to what authorities called a “North Texas Antifa Cell.” The most recent arrest occurred last week in Weatherford.

Lucy Fowlkes is accused of helping delete messages that contained evidence related to the July 4 shooting outside an ICE facility, according to a criminal complaint.

Lucy Fowlkes was arrested and charged with hindering prosecution of terrorism. That brings the total of people arrested in the incident at an Alvarado ICE facility to 19.

Daniel Sanchez Estrada was charged in July with corruptly concealing a document or records in connection to a July 4 shooting outside the ICE Prairieland Detention Center.

Four defendants pleaded not guilty in Fort Worth federal court Wednesday. They'll return to the courthouse in January to stand trial for charges that include providing material support to terrorists and attempted murder.

Rebecca Morgan and Susan Kent face up to 15 years in prison for hiding the man accused of shooting and injuring an Alvarado police officer outside the Prairieland Detention Center July 4.

The defendants pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists in connection with a shooting at an ICE detention center that prosecutors have tied to antifa. A sixth defendant is set to plead guilty to the same charge next week.

Prosecutors are delivering on a promise to add defendants who didn't accept the government's plea deal to an initial indictment with more charges. The most serious charges include attempted murder of employees of the United States.

The charges include engaging in organized criminal activity, hindering the prosecution of terrorism, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon against a peace officer and terrorism.

The government offered plea bargains to 15 defendants who made their initial appearances in Fort Worth federal court.

Seth Sikes of Kennedale faces one count of providing material support to terrorists in connection with the July 4 shooting injured a local police officer. Prosecutors say defendants were motivated by "antifa" ideology, which President Donald Trump deemed a domestic terrorist threat in late September.
