  1. Saved you a click: someone shot a Roman candle at the cops, they charged them with over 50 firearms & terrorism charges (someone could have lost an eye I guess)

  2. Operatives of an organization that only exists in the imaginations of MAGA? Ok then,

  3. God how fucking stupid. 

    Operatives of an ideology. 

  4. Will they be pardoned like the actual J6 terrorists?

  6. I’m guessing that the head of The Illuminati are next.

  8. Set up and falsely charged.

    We’re not stupid.

  9. Fascist doesn’t like anyone who is anti-fascism…

  10. Operatives? Lol.
    Yes, fascists have always been afraid of anti fascists. Same thing happened during Hitler’s time.

  13. Oh look maga is a nation wide terrorist organization with a long list of crimes against the citizens of the United States

  15. I don’t believe this shit. I bet it isn’t even a real story just more Trump-oganda

  18. ## Timeline of the Prairieland / Alvarado ICE Facility Case (2025)

    **July 4, 2025 – Attack on Prairieland Detention Center**
    Around 10:37 PM, multiple armed individuals attacked the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas. They used fireworks as a diversion, vandalized vehicles and security cameras, and exchanged gunfire with police. One Alvarado officer was shot in the neck.

    **Mid-July 2025 – Ongoing Investigation**
    Search warrants revealed anti-government writings and encrypted online chats about targeting ICE and DHS facilities. None of the filings or statements mentioned “Antifa” or terrorism at this stage.

    **August 2025 – Ideological Motives Reported**
    Media outlets reported that some defendants had left-wing or anti-fascist beliefs, but the DOJ described them only as “ideologically motivated extremists.”

    **September 22, 2025 – Executive Order Signed**
    President Trump signed an executive order designating *Antifa* as a domestic terrorist organization.

    **Late September 2025 – Federal Arraignments**
    Defendants appeared in the Northern District of Texas for preliminary hearings. Charges remained standard violent crime counts at this stage.

    **October 15, 2025 – Superseding Indictment Filed**
    A federal grand jury filed a new indictment that, for the first time, identified the group as a **“North Texas Antifa Cell.”**
    Terrorism-related charges were added, including *providing material support to terrorists* and *attempted murder of U.S. officers*.

    **October 16–17, 2025 – Indictment Unsealed & Media Coverage**
    The indictment was unsealed and widely reported. Defendants Cameron Arnold (aka *Autumn Hill*) and Zachary Evetts were charged as members of the alleged Antifa cell.
    – DOJ claims this marks the *first-ever federal terrorism case tied to Antifa*.
    – Prosecutors allege the group used encrypted apps for coordination, mapped the facility, wore body armor, and used fireworks as a diversion.
    – Defense attorneys dispute the terrorism label, arguing ideological affiliation alone is not a crime.

    **October 22, 2025 – Next Court Hearing (Scheduled)**
    Arnold and Evetts are expected to enter pleas in the Northern District of Texas. As of now, no additional defendants or new filings have appeared in public dockets.

    ### Summary
    – The **original July filings** never mentioned *Antifa* or described the group as a “cell.”
    – The *Antifa Cell* label and *terrorism charges* first appeared in the **October 15, 2025 superseding indictment**, following Trump’s executive order designating Antifa as a terrorist entity.
    – This is now considered the **first U.S. terrorism case officially linked to Antifa.**

  20. They can bring charges all they want. It doesn’t mean they will get a conviction.
