Two More Plead Guilty in Texas Antifa Terror Case
Two additional suspects have pleaded guilty to federal charges of providing material support to an Antifa-aligned group responsible for a July 4, 2025 armed attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas. Their pleas bring the total number of convicted co-conspirators to seven in what prosecutors describe as a domestic terrorism case.
The attack, carried out by an armed cell targeting the federal immigration facility, left one federal officer shot in the neck. He survived.
Guilty Pleas Filed in Federal Court
Rebecca Morgan and Susan Elaine Kent entered guilty pleas in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Though signed earlier, the agreements were formally filed with the court on November 24.
In stipulated facts included in their plea agreements, both women acknowledged that:
“On or about July 4, 2025, an Antifa cell conducted an act of terrorism targeting the Prairieland Detention Center… which included attempted murder of two officers of the United States Government and one police officer assisting. The Antifa cell’s act of terrorism was calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion, or to retaliate against government conduct.”
Unlike several earlier co-defendants, Morgan and Kent admitted to assisting the group rather than participating directly in the attack. Kent also acknowledged familiarity with Antifa-aligned beliefs and said many members of the Socialist Rifle Association (SRA), including co-defendants, described themselves as “antifascist.”
Efforts to Hide the Fugitive Suspect
According to prosecutors, the women played key roles in helping the primary suspect — identified in court documents as “Co-conspirator-1,” and previously identified by independent reporting as Benjamin Song — evade capture after he fled into nearby woods following the attack. A multistate manhunt, involving the FBI, was launched after his escape.
Morgan admitted that on July 5, 2025, she learned of the attack and that Song had escaped apprehension. By July 6, she had entered a conspiracy to provide lodging, communications equipment, transportation, and other resources intended to help him avoid arrest. She later hid him in her Dallas apartment for eight days, until law enforcement located and arrested him on July 15.
Kent admitted to arranging transportation and lodging for Song, coordinating his pickup near the ICE facility, and assisting in efforts to move him between locations to avoid detection. She also met with him and other co-conspirators the day after the attack to discuss how to keep him on the move.
Wider Case Continues to Expand
Federal prosecutors have described the case as the first terrorism prosecution in U.S. history involving admitted Antifa-affiliated actors.
The latest pleas follow those of Seth Sikes, Joy Abigail Gibson, Lynette Read Sharp, Nathan Baumann, and John Phillip Thomas — all of whom pleaded guilty last month to providing material support to terrorists.
Each convicted defendant faces up to 15 years in federal prison.
Meanwhile, nine other defendants pleaded not guilty during federal arraignments in Fort Worth on December 3. They face charges including providing material support to terrorists, conspiracy, rioting, attempted murder, discharging a firearm, and concealing documents. Their joint trial is scheduled to begin on January 5, 2026.
Federal authorities have not ruled out the possibility of additional charges or further defendants as the investigation continues.
