A jury delivered a guilty verdict on Friday for all nine defendants involved in an attack on the Prairieland detention center in July 2025.
Eight defendants were found guilty on charges of rioting, providing material support to terrorists, conspiring to use and carry explosives, and using and carrying explosives.
Benjamin Hanil Song was the only defendant found guilty on one count of attempted murder of officers and employees of the U.S. Song was also found guilty on three counts of discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.
Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada was found guilty on a charge of concealing a document or record.
Sanchez and Maricela Rueda were both found guilty on a charge of conspiracy to conceal documents.
The nine defendants, who pleaded not guilty, are Cameron Arnold, Zachary Evetts, Benjamin Hanil Song, Savanna Batten, Bradford Morris, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto and Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada.
Song was charged with attempted murder of officers and employees of the United States and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.
Prosecutors say Song shot Lt. Thomas Gross on July 4 outside the Prairieland ICE detention center in Alvarado.
The remaining defendants, aside from Sanchez Estrada, were charged with rioting, providing material support to terrorists and conspiracy to use an explosive.
Defense attorneys say the group brought fireworks to the Prairieland facility to shoot them off in solidarity with detainees inside, not as an act of aggression toward law enforcement.
