Former Marine gets 100 years in prison as judge calls ICE detention center ambush 'an assault on democracy'

Eight protesters accused by the Justice Department of having ties to the far-left network Antifa were sentenced to decades in federal prison on Tuesday for their roles in a violent July 4, 2025, ambush outside a North Texas immigration detention center.

Benjamin Song, a former U.S. Marine Corps reservist who was previously convicted of attempted murder for shooting Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross, received the maximum sentence of 100 years behind bars, according to a report from The Associated Press.
