Eleven individuals have been charged in connection with a coordinated and armed attack on two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and a responding police officer at the Prairieland Detention Center on July 4.

Court records filed July 7 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas reveal the suspects had used an encrypted online messaging platform to coordinate the assault and carried out the attack using firearms, military gear, and anti-government propaganda.

According to federal prosecutors, ten suspects face three counts of attempted murder of federal agents and three counts of discharging a firearm in relation to a crime of violence.

These are the 10 alleged members of a north Texas Antifa terror cell accused of carrying out the attempted murder of federal officers at a shooting terrorist attack on an ICE facility on the Fourth of July in Alvarado, Texas.

An eleventh individual, identified as Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada, has been charged with concealing evidence related to the attack.

The incident began late Friday night when a group of armed suspects lured two unarmed ICE agents into the parking lot of the detention center by launching fireworks at their door and spray-painting messages such as “traitor” and “Ice Pig” on their personal vehicles.

Surveillance cameras captured the graffiti as the agents viewed the scene from inside the building.

At approximately the same time, a police officer who responded to the agents’ 911 call was shot in the neck by two gunmen firing from a nearby wooded area.

The officer was transported for treatment and is expected to recover, according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security.

A key suspect, Bradford Morris, was arrested while attempting to flee in a red Hyundai van. During questioning by the FBI, Morris admitted to being part of a Signal group chat that he had joined years earlier after attending a protest.

He claimed to have driven to the detention center with another suspect and two additional individuals known only by the nicknames “Champagne” and “Rowan.”

Inside the van, authorities recovered two AR-15-style rifles, a revolver, two Kevlar vests, a ballistic helmet, and a loaded magazine.

According to the criminal complaint, Morris told investigators that he “met some people online and transported some of them down from Dallas” with the intention of going to the center to “make some noise.”

Prosecutors allege that the group fired between 20 and 30 rounds before the rifle malfunctioned due to a jam, which potentially prevented further injuries.

Law enforcement later located seven suspects wearing black military-style fatigues in a field approximately 300 yards from the scene.

Some were covered in mud from an apparent attempt to flee on foot. Authorities recovered additional firearms, tactical vests, and radios from the suspects.

As part of the ongoing investigation, officials are examining how the suspects coordinated the attack, including through the Signal messaging platform.

Anti-government literature and evidence of ideological motivation were found in locations tied to the suspects.

Among the materials seized was a publication titled Organising for Attack! Insurrectionary Anarchy, which promotes the use of violence to provoke revolutionary upheaval.

The International Centre for Counter-Terrorism defines “insurrectionary anarchy” as a branch of anarchism that embraces violent action and armed insurrection.

The Combating Terrorism Center at West Point has previously identified insurrectionary anarchism as one of the most serious non-jihadist domestic terrorism threats.

In addition to the literature, one suspect was found carrying flyers reading “Fight ICE terror with class war!” and “Free all political prisoners.”

In a statement, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said that ICE is “actively working with the FBI and the Texas Rangers regarding the incident.”

“Threats or acts of violence toward law enforcement officers will NOT be tolerated. Secretary Noem has made it clear: If you threaten or attempt to harm a law enforcement officer, we will find you and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law,” the statement added.

The investigation remains ongoing, with federal authorities continuing to gather evidence and determine whether the suspects were part of a broader organized movement targeting federal and local law enforcement personnel.
