Judge Sentences Antifa Terrorist to 100 Years in Prison for Shooting an ICE Officer

A federal judge sentenced Benjamin Song to 100 years in prison on Tuesday for his role in a July 4, 2025, attack outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, where a police officer was shot in the neck. Federal prosecutors described the incident as a coordinated attack designed to lure law enforcement officers into an ambush.

Song, who was convicted in March, received the longest sentence among nine defendants found guilty following a federal trial. According to court records and trial testimony, the incident began as a demonstration outside the detention center. Participants allegedly set off fireworks near the facility, spray-painted vehicles and engaged in acts of vandalism before law enforcement officers arrived. Prosecutors argued that the vandalism was intended to draw officers out of the facility so they could be targeted.

Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross responded to the scene and was struck in the neck by gunfire. Gross survived his injuries.

Federal prosecutors identified Song as the individual responsible for firing the shot that wounded the officer. A jury convicted Song of attempted murder and three counts of discharging a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. Evidence presented during the trial included surveillance footage, witness testimony, cellphone location data and weapons recovered during the investigation. A cooperating witness testified that Song later admitted to shooting a law enforcement officer during the attack.

Federal prosecutors said the assault followed weeks of planning and communication among participants.
