Police Bodycam Video Shows Response to Antifa Terror Attack on Texas ICE Facility

Posted on | August 31, 2026 | No Comments

It was past 11 p.m. on July 4, 2025, when police in Alvarado, Texas, stopped the red van that had been circling streets near the scene of a shooting. The first officer to look inside the van spotted a firearm on the front passenger side floorboard and immediately told the officer on the other side to detain the driver, who gave his name as “Meagan Morris.”

Morris had apparently driven comrades in an Antifa terrorist cell to the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Prairieland Detention Facility, where several of them began shooting fireworks toward the facility, while another terrorist, Benjamin Song, stood watch with an AR-15-style rifle. The plan for this “protest,” as the participants called it, had been hatched at a communal home in Dallas known as “The Big Gay House,” where 10 activists including Morris lived together.

After the fireworks and vandalism began, security officials inside the ICE facility called 911. The first law enforcement officer to arrive on the scene was Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross. The Antifa terrorists began to flee. Gross shouted for them to stop and drew his pistol. Song nearby opened fire, hitting Gross in the shoulder, but the officer managed to stay in the fight. Gross fired three shots, one of which struck Song’s rifle, causing it to jam. Song took off running. He managed to remain at large for the next 11 days before finally being apprehended at a Dallas hideout.

Why did I begin this post by talking about the red van that officers stopped near the Prairieland shooting? Because when these Antifa terrorists were sentenced to decades in federal prison — including 100 years for Benjamin Song — their defenders insisted that they were merely “protesters” exercising their First Amendment rights:

“I am livid,” said Lydia Koza, whose wife, Autumn Hill, was sentenced to 50 years in prison. “The government wants to take her entire life away because she attended a protest. Nobody died.” . . .
Phillip Hayes, Song’s attorney, rejected characterizations that the protesters were extremists and said his client will appeal the 100-year sentence.
“This is a bunch of kids and young adults who really have a really big heart and really wanted their voice to be heard,” Hayes said. “It was never intended that anybody get hurt. It was never intended that any shots would be fired.”

Here’s why that red van is so important. After the officer spotted a handgun in the van and ordered the driver, “Meagan Morris” to be detained, the van was searched and yielded a vast arsenal of weapons — pistols, rifles, extra magazines of ammunition, body armor, etc. You don’t need all that stuff just to “let you voice be heard.” After the discovery of this cache of weapons, one of the officers on the scene said: “This is like a targeted hit on Prairieland,” then later added, “This is like a straight coordinated terror attack on f–king Prairieland.”

Within 15 minutes of the shooting that wounded Lt. Gross, one of his fellow officers deduced that this was a “coordinated terror attack” on the ICE facility. Contrary to what defenders of the suspects claimed, their intentions were not peaceful. Benjamin Song has been described as a “charismatic” leader of this particular Antifa cell, and we may surmise that he supplied his comrades with this “cover story,” wherein they claimed to have no idea about the planned violence. But how is it that these allegedly peaceful protesters were unaware of Song’s plans, when they rode from Dallas to Praireland in a van full of guns and ammo?

It would have taken at least 45 minutes of driving to get to the scene of their “protest,” and that van was packed with weapons, yet the Antifa comrades didn’t have the faintest clue that Song was planning to shoot up the place? God knows what might have happened had it not been for Lt. Gross’s excellent marksmanship, firing a shot that disabled Song’s rifle.

You can watch the whole video at YouTube, compiled by Midwest Safety, one of the best channels for police video footage. And as you watch it, pay attention to the section where they’re searching the van and find the driver’s license of “Autumn Hill,” now doing a long federal sentence “because she attended a protest,” we are told. Yet that driver’s license was found in proximity to multiple firearms, inside a van that had been circling Prairieland, apparently hoping to pick up the Antifa comrades who had engaged in this raid on the ICE facility. We are not deceived.
