The trial of nine suspected members of a self-admitted antifa cell is restarting, following an abrupt mistrial declared last week, as they face federal terrorism-related charges stemming from their alleged roles in a July 2025 ambush on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Alvarado, Texas.
The criminal proceeding, which will start again on Monday with jury selection, is considered the first-known federal trial to treat antifa as a terrorist organization after President Donald Trump officially designated far-left groups that organize behind an antifa ideology as domestic terrorism threats.
