This was a well-funded terrorist attack.
The Antifa militants allegedly involved in the Fourth of July terrorist attack shooting at the ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas came extremely armed. They had multiple AR rifles, pistols, ammunition, radios, body armor, leftist anarchist political propaganda material, electromagnetic blocking devices and more.
In their rush to escape the shooting, in which a police officer was shot in the neck, the shooters discarded or dropped some firearms near the scene. A search at one of the suspects' homes recovered nine additional firearms and more body armor vests.
At the home of another militant suspect, federal investigators also found a stash of Antifa anarchist propaganda texts about how to carry out violent insurrections.
The 10 members of the Antifa cell have been charged with multiple counts of attempted murder of a federal officer and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. An 11th militant was charged separately for hiding evidence.
These are some of the most serious felony federal charges against any alleged Antifa associates in American history so far.
