On Thursday afternoon, FBI Director Kash Patel shared news related to arrests that were previously made in connection with the July 4th domestic terror attack at the Prairieland Detention Facility in Alvaredo, Texas, in which a police officer was shot in the neck.
“First time ever: the FBI arrested Antifa-aligned anarchist violent extremists and terrorism charges have been brought for the July 4 Prairieland ICE attack in Texas,” Patel noted on X. “Under President Trump’s new authorities, we’ve made 20+ arrests. No one gets to harm law enforcement. Not on my watch.”

The indictment was unsealed on Thursday:
The two men who were indicted, Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts, were previously charged in connection with the alleged ambush of federal agents at the ICE facility and attempting to kill two correctional officers and an Alvarado police officer, but the grand jury indictment charges both with an additional count of providing material support to terrorists.
According to Patel, “This was a planned and coordinated terrorist attack… where armed extremists tried to murder U.S. officers.”
Antifa expert Andy Ngo says that one of them, Cameron Arnold (pictured on the left below), is a member of the violent “Trantifa” cell:

Here is the indictment:
As @POTUS has made clear, Antifa is a left-wing terrorist organization. They will be prosecuted as such. https://t.co/bPiE8nqkky

The details from the indictment are chilling:
The indictment claims the group that Arnold and Evetts were a part of did extensive preplanning before the incident, and that Arnold trained others on firearm use and close-quarters combat.
The group was heavily armed with over 50 firearms that were purchased in Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Dallas and elsewhere, according to the indictment. The document also noted that Arnold allegedly built numerous AR-platform rifles, some of which he distributed to his co-defendants, and at least one of which featured a binary trigger, allowing the gun to shoot at a higher rate by causing two bullets to fire with each trigger cycle.
Arnold, Evetts and others also used an encrypted messaging app to coordinate their moves, according to the DOJ. The investigation found that one member of the group wrote “I’m done with peaceful protests” and “Blue lives don’t matter” as part of those conversations.
In other words, the suspects were allegedly preparing a massacre.
A total of 15 suspects have been arrested in this case. The mugshots of 10 of them were released shortly after they were taken into custody and, as my RedState colleague Bob Hoge noted at the time, they looked exactly like you’d expect them to:
