A federal jury handed prosecutors a mixed victory in the trial of nine 
protesters for their roles during or after a chaotic demonstration outside 
a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility last July, convicting 
eight defendants of terrorism charges but sparing some of them on 
attempted murder counts.

The widely watched trial could serve as a bellwether as President Donald 
Trump’s administration seeks to crack down on left-wing groups — and the 
convictions could encourage prosecutors to bring more such charges. A top 
FBI official said in December that the agency is now treating “antifa” as 
a major domestic terror threat.

“Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization that has been allowed to 
flourish in Democrat-led cities — not under President Trump,” said 
Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Today’s verdict on terrorism charges will 
not be the last as the Trump administration systematically dismantles 
Antifa and finally halts their violence on America’s streets.”

The court case centered on a nighttime July 4, 2025, protest outside ICE’s 
Prairieland Detention Facility that started with demonstrators shooting 
fireworks and spray-painting cars in the parking lot.
