Federal prosecutors charged North Texans Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts with providing material support to terrorists, attempted murder of U.S. officers, and using a firearm during a violent crime, alleging they were part of an 'Antifa cell' that planned a July 4 attack on the Prairieland ICE detention center in Alvarado. Authorities say armed suspects vandalized the site before opening fire; a police officer was shot in the neck and later released. The DOJ alleges extensive preplanning, weapons stockpiles, and encrypted coordination, while a judge ordered both held. Defense lawyers argue beliefs aren’t crimes and downplay their clients’ roles.
