The Justice Department announced sentencing for a gang of Antifa-linked terrorists convicted of attacking the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Alvarado, Texas.At least 16 people have been charged in the Fourth of July attack in 2025 that included vandalism and one officer being shot in the neck.'Antifa terrorists who attack law enforcement and federal facilities will face swift and uncompromising justice.'On Tuesday, the DOJ announced that Benjamin Song, the leader of the group, was sentenced to 100 years in prison. "Seven additional defendants also sentenced before one-year anniversary of attack to a combined 450 years in prison," the DOJ statement read. "This is the first sentencing of defendants affiliated with Antifa following [President Donald Trump's] executive order designating the group as a Domestic Terrorist Organization in September 2025." Five defendants received 50-year prison sentences, while two defendants received a 30-year sentence and a 70-year sentence, respectively. The group had been found guilty of a slew of charges that included rioting, providing material support to terrorists, using and carrying an explosive, attempted murder, and discharging a firearm.Federal prosecutors presented jurors with 216 exhibits and testimony from 46 witnesses during the 12-day trial at the courthouse in Fort Worth. "Song acquired firearms that he distributed to co-defendants and recruited members at gun ranges and combat sessions he conducted, as well as from various ideologically aligned groups," the DOJ press release continued. "For example, defendants Ines Soto, Elizabeth Soto, and Savanna Batten were part of a group that created and distributed insurrectionary materials called 'zines,' according to trial evidence."Chief Judge Reed O’Connor called the defendants' use of terror and violence an "assault on democracy" during sentencing.One of the convicted received a continuance and will be sentenced on July 1. Seven others pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists and will also be sentenced on July 1.RELATED: 15 members of Antifa-linked group BUSTED for allegedly trying to hurt or impede ICE "The sentences handed down today make clear that Antifa terrorists who attack law enforcement and federal facilities will face swift and uncompromising justice," wrote acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in a press release statement."Their violent extremism has no place in our country, and the Department of Justice will continue to aggressively investigate, disrupt, and prosecute those who threaten law enforcement officers or undermine the rule of law," he added.Song's attorney characterized the defendants as just a "bunch of kids and young adults who really have a really big heart and really wanted their voice to be heard," after the sentencing.

New York Times reporters Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman gave a shocking revelation while speaking on MS NOW Monday evening. According to the two writers of a forthcoming book, there is an entirely different group of people in charge of major national policy than the experts. Speaking to Lawrence O'Donnell late Monday, Haberman and Swan were promoting their forthcoming book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, which comes out Tuesday, the Daily Beast reported. “The thing that was really notable about this White House, compared to the first one, is they keep talking about how they’re the most transparent White House in history,” Swan explained. “It’s a canard. They’re actually incredibly good at keeping secrets.”According to Swan, “You have a tiny group of people that are running this country, five or six people and Donald Trump.”“The war-planning group had been kept so tight that the two key officials who would need to manage the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Energy Secretary Chris Wright — were still not in the loop, one day before the launch of the war,” Haberman and Swan note. “Nor was the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.”It isn't unusual to keep war-planning meetings small, but those in attendance generally have military experience. That wasn't the case in the Iran planning, which likely speaks to why so many important consequences weren't gamed out ahead of time. The authors say that those in the room plotting the war were Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, White House Counsel David Warrington, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, State Secretary Marco Rubio and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine. Not on hand were Bessent and Wright, who likely would have lent some comments about what would ultimately happen to global oil markets if the Strait of Hormuz were closed. Reducing costs on food and fuel were key pieces of Trump's 2024 promises.Another detail O'Donnell read from the book is that in the middle of the disastrous Iran war, Trump welcomed the two authors into the Oval Office, where he was picking out trees for the White House grounds. "I know how to pick out good trees," he told them. He then bragged about his views on TikTok and began showing off his "grand ballroom" designs. Behind the scenes, aides told the authors they wish Trump was more concerned about his plunging poll numbers and "the dangers he was courting." According to the staff, Trump isn't "receptive" to polling or to bad news in general. So, they simply don't tell him."He [is] willing to take breathtaking risks, risks that could throw not only his presidency but the Republican Party and the entire world into chaos and carnage. More than ever before as President, he was operating on pure gut instinct. It would take a combination of mind reader and psychologist to explain fully why Trump was willing to gamble so much more recklessly now," the book continues. His confidence in himself and his instincts had ballooned, and more often than not, he feels "vindicated." "Then there was the fact that he was a walking moral hazard, rarely saddled for long with the costs or consequences of his risk-taking and rule-breaking. Now was his moment to try things, like military adventures and overthrowing the global trade system," the authors cautioned.
