Prairieland Detention Center shooting

Susan Kent pleaded guilty to one count of a terrorism-related charge for assisting in shooter Benjamin Song's escape from the ICE facility after the shooting.

Many of the defendants await trials on state charges in Johnson County, including terrorism.

Attorneys for Daniel Sanchez Estrada, Savanna Batten, Zachary Evetts and Elizabeth Soto filed notices that they'd appeal their decades-long sentences to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, one that's been regarded as one of the most conservative federal appellate courts in the country.

The sentencing comes three months after a weeks-long trial in which prosecutors argued the group was a "North Texas antifa cell" with anti-ICE and anti-government beliefs.

Janette Goering and Lucy Fowlkes are some of 22 people arrested in connection to a July 4 shooting last year. Their attorneys requested their bonds be reduced.

The new defendants are charged with hindering the prosecution of terrorism. The indictments make 22 total defendants in the case, spanning federal and state courts.

A judge moved Dario Sanchez's trial from next week to June 22 after a court hearing Monday. Sanchez also declined prosecutors' offer to testify against a fellow defendant in exchange for immunity.

Fort Worth-area congressman Marc Veasey toured the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Alvarado Tuesday.

In the press, top DOJ officials touted guilty verdicts in the Prairieland ICE shooting trial as the first step to getting "antifa" off the streets. The term legally mattered less than they let on — but the convictions serve a larger political game plan that's only just begun.

Nine defendants convicted on federal terrorism related charges this month in connection to a nonfatal July 4 shooting of a police officer outside the Prairieland immigration detention filed motions Friday to overturn their jury verdicts and request a new trial.

After about two days of deliberation, the 12 jurors found Benjamin Song alone was guilty of attempted murder, but defendants were convicted of rioting and other charges.

Nine defendants face a mix of 12 charges, the most serious of which are three counts of attempted murder against U.S. officers or employees.
