Benjamin Song Gets 100-Year Sentence

Benjamin Song just got a hundred-year federal prison sentence after being convicted of shooting and wounding a police officer during a violent attack on a Texas immigration detention center—charges prosecutors say were part of a terrorism plot. Song, who allegedly yelled “get to the rifles!” before firing eleven shots, faces a life sentence while his lawyer plans an appeal. Seven co-defendants received sentences ranging from thirty to seventy years, and another got thirty years for document concealment. The Justice Department labeled the attack an “assault on democracy,” and this case is seen as a major win against violent extremism—while a separate Minneapolis case involving alleged Antifa ties hasn’t brought terrorism charges yet.
