01 · THE DISPATCH

A US court has sentenced eight Antifa activists to a combined total of 450 years in prison for an armed attack and riot at an ICE immigration detention facility in Prairie Land, Alvarado, Texas, in July 2025. The sentences, handed down less than a year after the attack, include: Benjamin Hanil Song (cell leader) – 100 years, Marisela Rueda – 70 years, Cameron Arnold, Savannah Batten, Zachary Oates, Bradford Morris, and Elizabeth Soto – each 50 years, and Daniel Sanchez – 30 years. The attack involved vandalism, use of fireworks, and gunfire at law enforcement officers in an attempt to prevent the deportation of illegal immigrants. The case highlights the US judicial system's aggressive sentencing approach to militant left-wing violence.
