Nine Antifa Members Convicted in Terror Case

Nine people linked to a North Texas Antifa cell were found guilty by a federal jury on terrorism-related charges, including rioting, attempted murder, and providing material support to terrorists.

The case stems from a July 4, 2025, ambush attack at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado that left a police officer wounded.

Federal prosecutors say the defendants used weapons and tactical gear during the attack. Several now face decades in prison, and one defendant faces a possible life sentence.

SWAT Shooting Suspect Linked to Rep. Crockett

A man who was fatally shot by Dallas police after a standoff at a Children’s Health parking garage had been working security for Rep. Jasmine Crockett, according to reports.

Authorities say the suspect was wanted on a warrant for impersonating a peace officer and had been operating under aliases while running an off-duty security service.

Police say the man barricaded himself inside a vehicle during the late-night standoff. Officers opened fire after he exited the car and pointed a gun at them.

Dallas 11-Year-Old Chasing $450K Motorsports Dream

The young driver competes across the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East in karts that reach speeds of nearly 90 mph. His family says the sport can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.
