"Nine members of a North Texas Antifa terror cell were indicted by the Justice Department in connection with a violent attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, over the summer that nearly killed a local policeman.
A sixteenth defendant was previously charged in late October with one count of providing material support for terrorism.
In a major shift for the DOJ, this is the first time that members of the terror group have been federally indicted on terrorism charges.
"This is the first indictment in the country against a group of violent Antifa cell members," said acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson.
"The charges the Grand Jury has leveled against these defendants, including material support for terrorists, address the vicious attack perpetrated by an anti-ICE, anti-law enforcement, anti-government, anarchist group,” she continued."
